conventional call-girl who wants to marry her boyfirend, a medicine
student who knows nothing of her profession - one day meet on the street

again. Reiko gets a veneral disease from fucking (almost) every man in
her theatre group while Ayumi loses her boyfriend, but soon finds a new

one of her clients out of gratitude.
Rather than having a straight story, this movie consists of just
vignettes of a hooker's life, but despite the sleaziness of both subject
and imagery, it manages to stay surprisingly humane towards its
protagonists, making it the very strange exception of a good-natured,
well-minded sleaze-movie.
