Cheating Notes
A bandit attacked a couple in the forest and there are variations in the statements of the witnesses as to how it exactly happened.
In the wife's first recollection of the event, the bandit raped her after neutralizing her husband and tying him up. In this recollection, the wife also discovered that someone (she didn't know it was the bandit yet) was peeping on her and her husband's lovemaking before the attack. The bandit was shining a light on them reflected via a mirror. The wife noticed him but just let him do it and didn't tell her husband about it even if he asked her if there was something wrong.
In the bandit's version of the event, he also says that he raped the wife but with the difference that she asked him to have a duel with her already injured husband after, because she said that she'd been shamed by two men and wouldn't be able to live anymore. The bandit then said to the husband that whoever should win in their duel would get her.
In the husband's version, as told by a kid who talked to him while he was dying, the wife let the bandit have his way with her without putting up any resistance. Maybe she wasn't really willing but she spared the bandit any extra work in subduing her.
In the final act, the wife changes her recollection of the event. In this version, she really fucked the bandit willingly. She's the one who kissed him first and she guided his hand towards her crotch, then kissed it. She's very proactive in their lovemaking: kissing his body all over, sucking his finger, etc., and they are both fully naked (strategic nudity only) while having sex as opposed to the other variations where they are practically clothed. Nice...
It is left to the viewers on who they think is telling the truth and what variation is true.
