Stay (2006)

Alternate title: Sleeping Dogs Lie.

A woman performs oral sex on a dog once. Years later she is in a relationship (with a human, haha) and he proposes they share their secrets.

It's basically a thesis film about a truism, but it's not pointless -- often I see people telling other people information that other people don't need to know and could be used against the person who told it; in the specific case of a relationship, the temptation is stronger and, as the film demonstrates with an amount of success which I can't really assess precisely, the harm can be bigger too. The film could do without the main character telling us that "lies make us live up to them and be better persons". She, in the film -- as, in real life, most people -- lies just to avoid a disadvantageous situation, and not to be a better person. Being a better person in this particular instance -- and it doesn't really matter how reasonable this is for anyone else but her -- would be to stop doing what she did only once and long ago. Therefore, this specific sentence (which is said in voice-over) doesn't make any sense at all.
