Young actors Lihi Mavel and Gur Eden are teaming up on screen once again. Following their recent work together in the upcoming youth drama series "Mfunim", the two have officially been cast in the new drama series "Kol HaEmet Al HaSheker" (All the Truth About the Lie), created by Yants Levy and directed by Tom Nesher. The series is set to air in Israeli media and Kan BOX, with filming scheduled to begin shortly.

A Journey Back to 1992

The plot transports viewers to Kfar Saba in 1992, following the five sons of the Shalom family who were raised on values of excellence, toughness, and success. Their father, Shabtai, served as an ultimate role model before battling Alzheimer's disease. However, the family's core is severely shaken when one of the brothers, an exemplary officer, discovers he has contracted HIV. During an era when the illness was shrouded in fear, shame, and severe social stigma, the family must confront the devastating news and its sweeping consequences.

Eden, known for his roles in "Shakshuka", "HaMe'avtehet", and "Gadol Aleynu", will portray Nimrod, a 15-year-old boy and one of the Shalom brothers. Nimrod begins to realize he is attracted to men, hiding his emerging identity while navigating his crumbling family dynamic. This new casting arrives following a challenging personal period for Eden, who lost his mother, acclaimed television producer Dana Eden, in February. Mavel, recognized for her performances in "El Atzmi" and "Ma HaBa'aya?", will star as Shapi, Nimrod's girlfriend from whom he conceals his deepest secret.

An All-Star Ensemble

Mavel and Eden join a high-profile cast that includes Ido Tako, Lia Elalouf, and Neta Garty. As the production prepares to kick off, the series promises a compelling exploration of secrets, personal identity, and the testing of familial bonds under extraordinary pressure.
