To satisfy their shopping frenzy, Hiromi and her school friends turn to "enjokosai" – paid dating with older men. Shot with a handheld camera, the film’s playful imagery clashes with the violent escalation of events. Hideaki ANNO was already world-famous for NEON GENESIS EVANGELION when he made his first feature film in 1998.
