Naoki Prize-winning author Kaori Ekuni is having her novel "Sweet Little Lies" adapted to the big screen. The film, directed by Hitoshi Yasaki, will star actress Miki Nakatani and actor Nao Omori.

Nakatani and Omori play a married couple who haven't had sex in three years. However, they are both having affairs, and the little lies they tell each other gradually pile up. Nakatani's older lover is portrayed by former ballet dancer Juichi Kobayashi, while Omori's lover is a younger woman who attended the same university as him, played by Chizuru Ikewaki.

"Sweet Little Lies" is scheduled to open in theaters early next year.
