A Japanese cleaning woman hopes for a career as a pop idol, but ends up in prostitution. Gritty fairy-tale with magical-realism elements and animation.
Asuka, a young mother in Tokyo, gives everything she has got to realise her music dream. And successfully so. But everything has its price and via a TV talent show, Asuka ends up in the nightmarish world of prostitution. Feature film debut of Hendrik Willemyns, from the Belgian band Arsenal.
