The Floating World (15′)
The Host Clubs of Tokyo’s red-light district are a slice of the city’s entertainment industry self-described as “selling dreams”. And yet, with access to attention guaranteed behind their walls, the dreams being sold are as much part of the allure for the devoted actors keeping up the facade, as those drawn to the feelings of desirability they bring.
