"False as Water" is a film about jealousy and death. A successful publisher and seemingly happy father indulges in a slight love affair on one of his frequent business trips - it just happened. He regrets it later and turns his guilty conscience against his wife who, he thinks, is also being unfaithful. He sees in his jealous mind signs and proof that she has a lover. Their marital relationship has been deteriorating for some time and when a young poetess comes to the publishing house he falls madly in love with her - he's found a reason for breaking up his marriage. The drama takes an unexpected turn. (official distributor synopsis)
