Kuroi Gashu: Shogen
Teiichiro married his wife, Sachiko, and succeeded his wife's parents' company, Ishino Clinic, in Kanazawa. Although the doctor is reputed for his straightforward work, he has been hiding a secret from his wife for three…
Dr. Ishino Teiichiro appears to have the perfect life: a successful career at his wife's family clinic, a loving family, and the respect of his community. But beneath this façade lies a carefully guarded secret – a three-year affair with a young artist named Umezawa Tomohisa. When a woman is murdered near Teiichiro's clinic, the police investigation puts his secret lover and his alibi in the spotlight. Faced with the choice to either come out and save an innocent man from wrongful conviction, or to lie and protect his reputation, Teiichiro makes a fateful decision. His web of deceit tightens as his wife, Sachiko, grows suspicious and Umezawa pushes for honesty. In a tense, atmospheric thriller that doubles as a searing critique of societal homophobia and the crushing weight of family honor, every lie brings justice, love, and life itself to a tragic breaking point.
