NZIFF25 Mistress Dispeller E

When a heartbroken wife suspects her husband of cheating, she decides not to confront him and instead hires a "mistress dispeller"-a specialist in ending extra-marital affairs. For a fee that can start at tens of thousands of dollars, this professional will adopt a false identity and involve themselves in the social circle of the client's husband and his lover, eventually befriending the mistress and influencing her to end the affair of her own accord. As economic and cultural norms have shifted in China, this occupation is just one facet of a burgeoning new "love industry" where all manner of relational services can be outsourced.
