Akemi Bar: Happiness After Getting Moist
“Known as a master of horror films, Daisuke Yamauchi takes a different approach with this heartfelt, classic human drama.”
Sumire has been working at “Snack Akemi” for the past three years. After returning home from shopping, the owner, Goro, entrusted her with the preparations for opening the bar, and he lay down on a box seat and puffed on a cigarette. Three years ago, Sumire, who had been selling her body to make ends meet, was found huddled on the street with blood all over her face after she was caught trying to skim off a customer’s money. She was saved by Goro, who was passing by at the time.
