Segreti e bugie (1996)
Alla periferia di Londra vivono due fratelli, Cynthia e Maurice, che non si vedono da parecchio tempo. Cynthia ha con sé la figlia Roxanne e non ha simpatia per Monica, moglie di Maurice. Finalmente questi, che fa il fotografo, rompe gli indugi, va a trovare la sorella e la invita a casa sua per festeggiare tutti insieme il ventunesimo compleanno di Roxanne. Nel frattempo Cynthia viene contattata da Hortense, una ragazza di colore che lavora come ottica e si qualifica come figlia di Cynthia, data in adozione subito dopo la nascita.
