A New Love in Tokyo
Life, love, sex, work, play… there are so many ways to tie them up.
Directed by Banmei Takahashi
Produced by G Company, Toa Kogyo
A character-driven exploration of two Tokyo sex workers navigating the intersection of their professional and private lives, balancing intimacy with existential uncertainty.
A look at the lives of two prostitutes in Tokyo: Rei, who works as an S&M dominatrix, and Ayumi, in the more straightforward profession of call girl. In addition to their working life, the film also looks at their private lives. Rei is acting in an amateur theatre company along with the receptionist from Ayumi's escort service, while Ayumi is living with her student-boyfriend as he struggles to finally get accepted to college.
