Then when all seems hopeless, he's struck by the finest Eureka Moment in recorded history. Mark becomes the first person to come up with the idea of intentional deception. Hilarity Ensues. At first. The film depicts a world identical to our own, minus the ability to deceive or withhold the truth in any shape or form. This results in people being brutally honest and always saying exactly what they're thinking at a given time. The film initially deals with Mark utilizing his new talent for personal gain but then moves toward dealing with the more complex concepts of religion and love. The movie's take on "absolute truth" and the latter half of the story have proven very polarizing.
