Titose HaraMami, who is nursing her sick husband, faces a crisis. With his condition worsening, she needs expensive, non-insured medication to save him, but she's already drowning in medical debt.
Hara Chitose gave a great performance as a married woman who turns to working at a soapland to pay for her husband's expensive hospital bills. The drama portion of this film is well-crafted, and the sex scenes are depicted thoroughly, so I was able to enjoy it as a true 'mature drama.' You get plenty of Hara Chitose's beautiful nudity and sex scenes, and it's definitely worth watching for the story alone.
*I think Hara-san is the best married actress. He is also perfect for this role. ,
*A beautiful wife decides to enter the entertainment industry in order to cover the expensive medical expenses of her husband who is suffering from an incurable disease. Even though she is modest and pure in beauty, she is a great actress. Even though she is hesitant during the interview for the store, she can't help but feel a tingle in the scene where she is completely naked. The contrast between the beautiful smile she shows her husband and the dull, sad expression on her face is the true essence of Chitose. She is much more attractive than Hashi○Manami, who is said to be similar. The image of Chitose being used as a plaything by store managers tarnishes the image of this industry, but that's why I watched it because Chitose is an exceptionally beautiful woman whose body everyone wants to touch.
Hara Chitose is truly a brilliant actress, perfectly balancing the 'all for you' concept while teetering on the edge of pure pleasure. I consider this a masterpiece among the 'Ana-Ai' series.
Soaplands are facilities where women provide services to ensure men are fully satisfied. Women go there solely for financial compensation, not for sexual gratification. In this series, I think many users find eroticism in the depiction of women 'falling' and men gradually 'breaking' them, which is what they expect from the work. In that regard, this film falls short from the start due to the soapland setting, and it didn't meet my expectations. Once you have 'multiple partners,' you can't really expect an intimate connection between the man and woman. Hara-san has a somewhat tragic look, and her acting is decent, which makes her situation—working at a soapland to pay off debt—feel even more painful and kills the mood. To make matters worse, flashbacks of her 'happy days' are inserted throughout. After seeing her being forced to take a load inside by a customer in reality, being shown a flashback of her happily 'making a baby' with her husband just leaves me confused about how I'm supposed to feel. The protagonist's final line and the overall tone feel pretentiously 'literary,' but I wish they had stuck to the series' core concept. I like Hara-san, and the male cast was capable enough, so it's a shame it didn't turn out differently. I'm being generous with 4 stars. By the way, the BGM 'Pavane for a Dead Princess' was nice.
