About the movie "Woman Who Loves Lies"

Your concept of "love" will be overturned in 2018
"TSUTAYA CREATORS' PROGRAM FILM 2015" was held with the aim of discovering new talent.
The project that won the first Grand Prix out of a total of 474 entries will finally be coming to the big screen.
"Who was your husband?"
This film was inspired by a real newspaper article with this sensational headline.

The script and direction was by Nakae Kazuhito, a young talent in the advertising industry who is also the planner. In 2008, he won the Grand Prix in the Fabulous 4 category at ADFEST (Asia Pacific Advertising Festival), Asia's largest advertising festival. His commercials have been highly praised for their emotional style and unique visual beauty, and he is seen as a talented person who will lead the next generation of the film industry.
Masami Nagasawa plays the heroine, Yukari Kawahara. She takes on the delicate role of an adult woman, playing a perfect career woman working for a top company who finds herself at the mercy of her boyfriend's big lie. Yukari's boyfriend, who calls himself Koide Kippei, is played by Takahashi Issei, an actor whose acting has filmmakers all over Japan falling in love with him. In addition, a star-studded cast including DAIGO, Kawaei Rina, Kuroki Hitomi, and Yoshida Kotaro will be supporting the film. The theme song "Tsunagu Mono," sung by Matsu Takako with her solid vocal ability, expresses the feelings of a woman longing for her loved one, and carries the story of Yukari and Kippei through to the end.
Is even love a lie?
A love story about true love that you only discover after losing everything when the identity of the person you thought you knew so well turns out to be a lie.
