Screenings
Synopsis
Tsutae and Yoshiji have lost confidence and passion for their future as they board a bus to Tsukishima but get off at Suzaki. Across the bridge they see the sign for Suzaki Paradise, a red-light district where Tsutae once worked as a prostitute. Tsutae spots an ad for a waitress at a bar near the bridge and rushes in to get the job. The kind-hearted madam, Tokuko, helps them out by hiring Tsutae and finding work for Yoshiji delivering noodles. But the restless Tsutae is soon attracted to Ochiai, a rich, generous man who owns an electrical shop specializing in radios.
