Rules of Lies

Roman, thirty-three and desperate to conquer his drug addiction, commits to an intensive group therapy program sequestered on a remote farm in the Šumava mountains. Twelve individuals, men and women of varying ages and backgrounds, voluntarily submit to a strict regimen overseen by three therapists. Each carries the weight of a harrowing past—overdoses, suicide attempts, and the lingering aggression of hard drug use that marks even the strongest among them. As past anguish, wrongs, and guilt resurface within the group's intimate confines, they breed fresh turmoil. In this thickening atmosphere of suspicion and lies, trust becomes the most fragile commodity of all.
