USAMARU Manami (兎丸愛美) - Synopsis
In any normal week, millions of people are drawn to Osaka, drawn by fate or a variety of wants. We spend time with some of them in this ensemble drama made up of talents who have appeared at OAFF in the past. A group of Korean women tricked into entertaining Chinese businessmen, a country girl new in town and ripe for exploitation by adult industry figures, a Nepali youth and the Japanese-language teacher who loves him, a lonely Taiwanese AV fan seeking out his favourite actress, and a mixed-race man who makes the mistake of getting mixed up with criminals. These are just some of the lives that intersect in Osaka in dramatic and comic tales full of humanity...
After two films set in Europe, director LIM Kah-wai returns to his adopted home of Osaka for a story of itinerant individuals seeking some form of companionship, comfort, and hope. Sifting through the upmarket and down-at-heel sides of the city, LIM finds great material for a set of interlocking storylines that paint the Osaka of now, a global city, a gateway to Asia, and a melting-pot of cultures where people come and go.
