Synopsis: A music video for the electronic-rock duo Winkie, 'Truth It Is' tells the story of a woman who is purged of her guilt (literally) from a marital indiscretion when she discovers her husband has also been having an affair. The contradiction in the repeated lyrics, 'he who tells lies, lies / she who tells lies lies, alone' explore the double standards between the sexes when it comes to such untruths. The use of split screen reveals simultaneously the consequences that befall the man and woman as they deal with the infidelity in their own way.
