Woman for Pleasures. Confession of a Geisha

Woman for Pleasures. Confession of a Geisha

New

The beginning of the 20th century, the Meiji era, Japan. A young girl, Aoi Iti, is sold to a prestigious brothel in the city of Kumamoto to pay off her family's debt. It seems that the girl's life is over... before it even begins — for there is no way back from the pleasure district. However, even in such a place, full of human vices and base needs, Iti finds something more — compassion, sincerity, and faith in herself and other people.
Based on real historical events of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, «Woman for Pleasures» is a testimony to a true revolution of spirit, led by tender and fragile girls striving to break free from the grasping embrace of patriarchy and the cruel system of sexual exploitation.
