| Summary: | Teenaged Nofar is so average that she's almost invisible. Serving customers ice cream, she is desperate for some kind of escape. One afternoon she tells a terrible lie, and suddenly everyone wants to talk to her, the press, her schoolmates, and even the boy upstairs. He is the only one who knows the truth, and he is demanding a price for his silence. Raymonde, an elderly immigrant whose best friend has just died, keeps her friend alive the only way she knows how, by inhabiting her stories. When Raymonde's lies take on a life of their own, Nofar and Raymonde must face the hidden corners of human nature. |
