The real-life issues depicted are so realistic
It's a heartwarming story that is painfully realistic in its portrayal of reality, but also full of humanity. In order to survive, a disabled brother pimps his autistic sister into prostitution.
If you just follow the plot, it seems like a tragic pit, but the story is wonderfully developed, leaving room for you to consider that for the younger sister, having sex = work is not necessarily a misfortune. The actors' performances are also excellent, and their pure hearts are reflected in their angelic smiles, which are very impressive.
Furthermore, from an artistic perspective, the dirty house where the two live is meticulously crafted, and there's even a funny scene where the older brother fights back after being attacked by several junior high school students by throwing his own feces at them. It's a masterpiece with many charms, but there's still something that weighs heavily on your heart when you finish watching it. I think it will take some time before you can watch it a second time.
One day, Yoshio, who has a leg disability, is fired from his job. To make ends meet, he turns to arranging prostitution for his autistic sister, Mariko.
