By the Window

Freelance writer Goro Inagaki discovers his editor wife is having an affair with the bestselling novelist she manages. Paralyzed by betrayal, he avoids confrontation. At a literary award ceremony, he encounters a high school novelist whose prizewinning book captivates him. Drawn into her narrative, Goro becomes fixated on finding the real-life muse behind the story—a quest that offers a fragile escape from his crumbling marriage and a reflection of his own artistic longing.
