- Synopsis
- It’s the height of summer in Kamagasaki, home to Tsutenkaku Tower, which overlooks Osaka. Sharp beams of the sun clearly separate shade from light. 19-year-old Tome quarrels with the proprietress of a small restaurant that has been arranging her sex services, striking out on her own. She lives with her mother, also a sex worker, and mentally disabled younger brother, Saneo. As long as there is pay, Tome will have sex with anyone, including her mother’s lover.
  Despite threats by a middleman that she must return to her old workplace, Tome refuses to back down. In this town where a man looks just like the one from the most-wanted ads, flawed young men and women abound, and a middle-aged man wanders around washing and reusing his condom, Tome walks her own lonely path selling her body to survive.
