Seventeen-year-old Aoi lives with her husband Masaya and her young son Kengo. Aoi entrusted Kengo to her grandmother and worked at a cabaret club until morning with her friend Mio for her living, but her husband Masaya, who worked at a construction site, complained. Quitting her job, Aoi's income alone becomes more and more difficult. Masaya didn't even try to find a new job for her, and at some point she began to use violence against Aoi. Meanwhile, Aoi is unable to work at the cabaret club due to harassment. Her bad deeds pile up, Masaya takes out what little savings she has, and she disappears. She reluctantly starts living at her mother-in-law Yukie's house, and Aoi looks for a daytime job for her, but it doesn't go well. A settlement fee will be required. In desperation, Aoi receives an invitation to a certain job from the manager of a cabaret club. What is the future that the girl who became her mother at a young age has arrived in the days when she struggles to resist the chain of poverty and violence?

Reviews
Painful and raw
Definitely an infuriating, frustrating, painful and in the end numbing movie. At every turn of the story you want to believe that things will take a turn for the better, that with that good for nothing bum of a husband out the picture that maybe she can turn things around but fate is against her. Pushed to the absolute edge of her own sanity you still want to believe that now that she has snapped there might be another turn that even with that dark twist at least she might somehow get a grasp back on her life just to then realize that no this movie won't have a happy ending. And maybe the dread of life slapping the viewer in the face is what makes this movie so special. It's a raw depiction of all the worst in life coming down on a teenager who deserved better, who has tried and failed.The acting is absolute perfection and brings the conflicting emotions of the characters across in a way that has you just as confused as the director wants you to be. The cinematography is simple yet impactful switching between very bright to very dark scenery where our main characters hair is somewhat often the focal point.
This is not a movie for those with thin nerves nor for those struggling with their mental health. Please be cautious before watching this and if you do, please know that it is a caution tale and not a reflection on how things have to end in life.
