The Little Liar

In 1983, Sebastian gets the idea to hold a remembrance walk in Salonika to honor the 40th anniversary of the first train to leave for the death camps. The Nazi Hunter convinces Greek officials to allow the march. Sebastian still resents Nico for his actions because Sebastian always received less love than Nico. Even after Nico’s actions on the train platform, his parents and grandfather constantly worried about him. Now, when Sebastian receives the newspaper announcing the march, he mails it to Fannie. Fannie and Tia decide to attend the march together. Meanwhile, she continues to work for Nico as he watches new films. They make small talk, but they never speak about the past. This continues for over a year, and when Fannie eventually decides to bring him dinner, Nico asks where she learned to cook Hungarian food. Fannie explains that she lived in Hungary during part of the war. Nico quickly leaves, telling her a lie about going to culinary school in Paris. Fannie continues to try to understand Nico’s pathological lying and hopes that he will open himself up to her.

One rainy evening, Nico walks Fannie to her car. When Fannie slips and falls into a puddle, she reminds Nico of the times when they got wet as children by running into the sea fully clothed.
