The story focuses on Lisa (Yukiko Okamoto), a Japanese-American teenager on her way to New York to start a new life. Before catching her flight, she spends the day in Tokyo to make some extra money. Thin, plain and endearingly earnest Lisa seems like an unlikely prostitute. But apparently, a booming market exists for fresh-faced girls in Japan, and one walk through a crowded street reveals the earning potential a girl holds with her seeming innocence. Lisa decides to sell her dirty underwear at an underground sex shop. She has misgivings when the woman in the metal cage tells her that she could make more money for the pair she is wearing, and Lisa steps out her fresh pants and hands them over.
From there, Lisa is directed to a video shoot which goes terribly wrong. She meets Raku (Yasue Sato), a dreamy girl who gets nauseous walking straight lines, and the two form an instant bond. Raku introduces her to the more pragmatic, business-minded high-gal leader Jonku (Hitomi Sato), who is willing to take on Lisa for the night....
"Bounce Ko Gals" is fraught with potential violence and the sordid reality of the girl's business, which is never confronted head-on.
"Bounce Ko Gals" opens at Cinema Village in New York on October 3, 2003.
