In the latest from former 'pink film' director Ryuichi Hiroki, a love hotel in Tokyo's red-light district plays host to the salacious goings-on of its revolving door of occupants. Over the course of a day, young hotel manager Toru's life is thrown upside down when he runs into his aspiring singer girlfriend Saya (Atsuko Maeda; Tamako in Moratorium, SFF 2014), sleeping her way to a record deal, and his younger sister shooting a porno. Korean 'delivery girl' Mena juggles life at escort agency Juicy Fruits and her relationship with boyfriend Chong-su. Tales of heartbreak and desire combine to craft a tragicomic portrait of disaffected Japanese urbanites, with a fascinating balance of graphic sex and sentimentality.
