The Wife and Her Adulterer

Catherine constantly leaves a cactus on the balcony, insisting it needs sunlight. But when her husband observes her doing the exact same thing on gloomy, rainy days, his suspicion grows. To uncover the truth behind her bizarre habit, he pretends to leave for an urgent business trip. Watching their apartment from below, he waits until an unknown figure slips inside. Instead of confronting them directly, he dials the police with a shocking accusation, reporting illegal services at his own address.
