Plot
The central characters in the film are two friends, Rei and Ayumi. Rei works in an S&M club in the Shibuya district of Tokyo; although she doesn't have sex with her clients, she dresses scantily in leather and engages in nipple piercing , whipping and other forms of mild torture on tired businessmen. Her main aim in life is to become an actress, and she is a member of a small fringe theater; she's sexually active with members of the troupe (several of her fellow actors contract venereal diseases as a result).
Ayumi works as a prostitute and is saving her money so she can marry; she's living with a student who loves her and who has no idea how she earns her money. Quite often, in their free time, the two young women go out to have fun together , flirting with men they meet in bars and even (in the film's final sequence) swimming naked in the sea.
