Transsexual sex workers do business quietly in a room in a residential area encircled by the Yamanote Line.
In the waiting room in which the manager lives, various people gather day-to-day.
In there, the main staff member Yuno intensely follows the Transsexual Road,
19 years old Turin is the number one popular staff member who has still never been in love,
"Himiko Kaiser" provides hard play wearing a mask to hide unattractiveness, and is the grandfather figure of the artisans living in the shop.
The people gathered in this small room all have different stories and circumstances and ultimately the only common point with each other is that their passport says "man".
Like a group of women getting together, the chat soon blooms into the topics of fashion and make-up, and how to obtain a more attractive figure.
Although there are many difficulties, with pride and great effort, they follow their dream. This dream to live happily and even meet and settle down with a partner while continuing to become a woman.
Sex Workers Backstage
山手線沿線の住宅街の一室でひっそりと営業するニューハーフヘルス。店長が住む部屋を待機部屋にして、様々な人が日々を送っています。
そこにいるのは、ニューハーフ道を邁進する強烈な眼力の主・ユノ、
まだ恋をしたことがないという人気ナンバーワンの19歳・チュリン、
不細工だからとハードプレイを売りにして、マスクを被った接客・ヒミコカイザー。そしてひょんなことからお店に住んでいる職人のおじいさん。
境遇も立ち位置も違う人たちが、「戸籍上は男」という共通点だけで
そう広くない部屋に集まっています。
私はそれぞれの生活を送る様子を撮りました。
オンナがひとたび集まれば、ファッションやメイクの話題に花が咲き、
どう魅力的にボディラインを作り上げるかで盛り上がる。
大変なことは多いけど、夢に向かって仲間と強く生きています。
