Portraits in a Sea of Lies, released under the Spanish name Retratos en un Mar de Mentiras, is a 2010 Colombian drama film directed and written by Carlos Gaviria.

After the death of his grandfather (Edgardo Román) in a mudslide, Jairo (Julián Román), a traveling photographer, and Marina (Paola Baldion), his silent and amnesiac cousin, decide to go to recover the land from which they were born, displaced years ago.

They travel from Bogotá to the Caribbean coast in an old and dilapidated Renault 4.

During the trip, Marina begins to relive her traumatic past.

Upon reaching the town and announcing that they are coming for their land, the paramilitaries kidnap them.
