North American Premiere Of Atom Egoyan's Where The Truth Lies A Gala Presentation

Toronto – The 30thToronto International Film Festival® presents director Atom Egoyan’s WHERE THE TRUTH LIES as a North American premiere Gala Presentation. Written and directed by Atom Egoyan (EXOTICA, THE SWEET HEREAFTER, ARARAT), and produced by Robert Lantos (BLACK ROBE, SUNSHINE, BEING JULIA), WHERE THE TRUTH LIES marks the 6th collaboration between director Atom Egoyan and producer Robert Lantos and is based on a Rupert Holmes novel of the same name. Kevin Bacon, Colin Firth, Alison Lohman, and Rachel Blanchard lead a stellar ensemble piece for this dramatic look at the events that sever a fictional comedic duo.

Journalist Karen O’Connor's (Alison Lohman) quest to uncover the facts leads her into an emotional and sexual relationship that proves impossible to break even when the horrible truth of past actions is revealed.
