This “modern and realistic comedy about outward appearances, where nothing is what it seems”, as its production companies describe it, will consist of eight episodes. The screenplays have been written by Nerea Castro and Pol Cortecans, and it stars Elena Anaya (who was an Almodóvar girl in The Skin I Live In [+lire aussi :

) and Sabroso himself.

Fleeting Lies tells the story of Lucía (played by Elena Anaya), an executive at a company specialising in high-tech beauty treatments who has fought to progress as far as possible from her humble origins. However, on the very same day she is due to finally receive her extremely well-deserved promotion, she is accused of industrial espionage and is fired from her job.

Faced with such a dire situation, she has no idea how to settle the remaining payments for her imminent wedding, organise her planned in vitro fertilisation or continue being the financial crutch for her partner, Basilio (played by Hugo Silva) and his children, so that he can finally finish the novel he’s been writing for so many years. In an attempt to buy some time to solve her problems, she conceals the truth at home and starts to submerge herself in a spiral of lies and shady, illegal dealings, while she simultaneously tries to unmask the real culprit: ambitious snake charmer Santi (Quim Gutiérrez).

Lucía will drift in and out of unexpected worlds, propping herself up thanks to the unwavering support of her friend through thick and thin Maite (Pilar Castro), a plastic surgeon who’s completely detached herself from relationships with men (or at least, that’s according to her). For fear of losing the very thing they’ve been fighting for their whole lives, Lucía and Basilio will tumble into a dizzying spiral of fleeting lies in order to hide their respective situations from each other, something which threatens to come back and bite them sooner rather than later…

The ensemble cast of this comedy is rounded off by familiar faces such as Susi Sánchez (Lullaby [+lire aussi :
