About this movie

In his take on prostitution in contemporary Japan, Kazuya Shiraishi has us follow three women - Masako, Rie and Yui - who handle all types of clients from old widowers to hikikomori (socially withdrawn youth). While different shades of contemporary Japanese masculinity are sketched through their eyes, the film's focus is entirely on the women, their camaraderie, their emotional complexities and strength, as well as the changing business practices of prostitution in the age of online interaction. 2017 Accent Film Entertainment.
