This feature documentary is a candid journey into the world of 4 young
Canadian women who work as well-paid hostesses in exclusive Japanese
nightclubs. Lured by adventure and easy money, these modern-day geisha
find themselves caught up in the mizu shobai - the complex "floating
water world" of Tokyo clubs and bars. Drawn by fast money, some women
become consumed by the lavish lifestyle and forget why they came. One
hostess calls it "losing the plot." With a pulsating visual style, Tokyo
Girls captures the raw energy of urban Japan and its fascination with
the new.
