man is unreliable

There used to be a joke:
A man didn't come home to sleep one night. The next day he told his wife that he slept with a brother. Her wife called his 10 best friends, and eight of his best friends were sure that his husband slept with them. Home... There are 2 others who said "His husband is still with him!"
The story of the attic seems to be an upgraded version, a follow-up version, a deepened version of this joke.

Five men, good looks, successful careers, beautiful wives at home, and strong relationships. The difference is that they have different personalities.

Architect VINCENT is old-fashioned, suave, full of manly gestures, and has the style of taking cologne perfume. So very feminine.
Psychiatrist CHRIS has a melancholy and stern expression, and has a strong personality.
A software engineer, MARNIX, is a rough-hearted man who eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles.
CHRIST's half-brother, PHILIP, married a rich man's daughter as his wife. He was a drug addict. His only sustenance was his 18-year-old sister.
LUKE, whose occupation is unknown, is silent and depressed, his wife has diabetes, and he falls in love with a beautiful stunner, SARA, but SARA is already in VICENT's pocket.

These five men rented a room in a corner of the city, each with a key. Except for LUKE, everyone else brought different women to fool around here. LUKE can be said to have the heart but not the guts, so he can only do some ridiculous things, such as installing a monitor in the corner of the house. It's good now, all the good things his other brothers have done are kept in his eyes. In order to vent his jealousy towards men and women. As a result, he also naturally discovered the unknown side of VICENT--like to play with his friends' wives, lovers and sisters.

Of course, this person became the target of public criticism, when everyone found out the truth. So, in order to cover up the fact that they were out for fun, to protect their family, and to take revenge on this brother who is not as good as the land, the 4 people teamed up to put the blame on VINCENT for the murder that happened in this house, and made a confession. . VINCNET became a proven murderer. Others are completely out of touch with the house.
In the end, the weak LUCK couldn't bear the guilt of SARA's death and murdering his brother, so he jumped off the building and committed suicide. CHRIS watched LUKE die and left a monologue: I hope I can forgive myself.

The other two, still living their lives as the walking dead, pretended nothing had happened.

After watching this film, in addition to lamenting the complicated and confusing plot, I also feel pity for these 5 men and women.

I know what happened and what kind of person the person next to my pillow is, but I still have to forgive these men. Whenever I find signs of infidelity of some men, my eyes are full of tension, sadness and helplessness. Maybe the two women in CHRIS will be better. His wife, although he doesn't talk much, is a sensitive and independent person. Even if he is aware of her husband's affair, her eyes are still firm, and she chooses to be quiet. Lover Ann, lost from her original self, finally found herself.

The last dialogue between CHRIS and Ann is perhaps the only warm place in the film: "I heard that you recently changed jobs, right?" "It turns out that you still care about me a little bit."
