What happens

Love and Lies (Japanese: 恋と嘘, Hepburn: Koi to Uso) is a 2017 Japanese romantic drama film directed by Takeshi Furusawa from a screenplay by Erika Yoshida, based on the manga series of the same name by Musawo. The film stars Aoi Morikawa as Aoi Nisaka, the lead heroine; Takumi Kitamura as Yūto Siba, Aoi's childhood friend; and Kanta Satō as Sōsuke Takachino, Aoi's arranged partner. Unlike the manga series, which features a love triangle between one boy and two girls, the film's love triangle involves one girl and two boys. The film was released in Japan on October 14, 2017. A visual for that film was unveiled on May 17, 2017. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
