A Day Without Lies(1963)

A Day Without Lies is a Norwegian comedy that explores what happens when honesty becomes a liability. Steen, a man troubled by the constant deception around him, accepts a wager to spend one day telling nothing but the truth. What seems like a straightforward challenge quickly spirals into chaos as his brutal honesty upends relationships, exposes secrets, and creates far more problems than it solves. The film examines the uncomfortable gap between the lies that hold society together and the devastating consequences of absolute transparency. As Steen discovers, sometimes the truth is a weapon nobody is prepared to handle.
