Volunteering as a "comfort woman" on the Manchurian front, where she is expected to service hundreds of soldiers, Harumi is commandeered by the brutal Lieutenant Narita but falls for the sensitive Mikami, Narita's direct subordinate. Seijun Suzuki's Story of a Prostitute is a tragic love story as well as a rule-bending take on a popular Taijiro Tamura novel, challenging military and fraternal codes of honor, as seen through Harumi's eyes.
Can a single moment of tenderness survive the systematic cruelty of a wartime military camp? This jagged portrait of survival finds a flicker of intimacy amidst the brutal mechanics of state-sanctioned exploitation.
