Scout Man (2000)

Sobre o filme

Mari is 17 years old. Atsushi is 20. They would like to get married; however, their parents are against the idea. So they run away to Tokyo. With no money and no place to stay, they try and survive as best they can. Atsushi meets Miki who works in porn films and begins to work as an agent recruiting teenagers in the city streets. Mari meets Kana who makes a living selling Party Tickets (invitations to parties with drinks included). They enter the underworld of sexuality, a reality that was up to then unknown to them and that places all their values and beliefs in jeopardy. A journey through the entrails of the Japanese Adult Video market that is not the same thing as adult films in the west. In Japan, it is forbidden to show sexual relations or genitalia, and these scenes are manipulated digitally so that they will be within the law. A market that is responsible for contracting teenagers who are willing to perform "fuzoku" (oral sex without penetration) or "en-ko" (abbreviation for "enjo-kosai", something like "donation-encounter" where students serve as company to older men in exchange for financial aid). They can thus fulfill a dream to buy clothes and accessories of famous brand names.
