This short feature film explores the effects of marital infidelity to teenagers. Marital infidelity has been a popular theme for drama in literature, television and film however, very little of these display effects of marital infidelity to the offspring. Contrary to the popular belief that the victims of marital infidelity are the wives, a content analysis showed that the betrayal is more felt by the children and the effects vary on age and gender. The analysis also showed that there are justifications to why people commit adulterous acts these should be taken into consideration by society when analyzing the issue.
