A Taxing Woman

He has a Yen for her, but he won't tell her where it's hidden...

A witty, satirical cat-and-mouse game between a determined tax investigator and a cunning tax evader, blending social commentary with romantic tension.

Intrepid tax investigator Ryoko Itakura sets her sights on the mysterious and philandering Hideki Gondo, a suspected millionaire and proprietor of a thriving chain of seedy hourly hotels, who has for years succeeded at hiding the true extent of his assets from the Japanese authorities. Itakura and Gondo soon find themselves engaged in a complicated, satirical battle of wits.
