Great Happiness Space:Tale Of An Osaka L

The Tale Of An Osaka Love Thief - Stylish Café Rakkyo is a host club in Minami, Osaka. Its owner Issei is reputedly the best-earning host in the area. He has many clients willing to pay sometimes thousands of dollars in one visit, in the form of 'champagne calls'. They entertain, and deftly lie. They also seek to fall in love, as a remedy to their working lives. It's a vicious circle. The boys have feelings too, and sometimes personal attachment to particular clients gets in the way of earning more. The answer to the dilemma, it seems, is that they provide a good service worth the money. The strain of their work takes its emotional toll: the top hosts confess that they cannot fall in love even if they want to. (From the US, in Japanese, English subtitles) (Documentary) (Rpt) M (A,S)
