SYNOPSIS: In this take on prostitution in contemporary Japan, we follow three women –Masako, Rie and Yui – who handle all types of clients from old widowers to socially withdrawn youth. While touching on different versions of contemporary Japanese patriarchy, the film’s focus is mostly on the three women, their friendship, their emotional complexities and strengths, as well as the changing world of prostitution in the age of online interaction. Official selection of International Film Festival Rotterdam.
