Other name: Kyuso wa Chizu no Yume wo Miru, 窮鼠はチーズの夢を見る

Description:

"The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese" delves into the tumultuous life of Kyoichi, an indecisive advertising executive whose marriage is shadowed by his repeated infidelities. His secret double life faces exposure when his wife hires a "jack of all trades" agency to investigate his affairs. The man sent to uncover the truth is Wataru, a former university acquaintance whom Kyoichi hasn't seen since graduation.

Wataru, however, holds a shocking revelation. He confesses to Kyoichi that he has harbored feelings for him for the past seven years. Instead of reporting Kyoichi's infidelity to his wife, Wataru proposes an audacious deal: he will keep Kyoichi's secrets safe, but only if Kyoichi agrees to engage in a sexual relationship with him. This unexpected proposition thrusts Kyoichi into a profound moral and emotional dilemma, forcing him to confront his desires, his marriage, and the unsettling boundaries of his own identity.
