Tami’s everyday life is shaped by sexual fantasies and anime characters. In an effort to expand her circle of friends, she enters a cosplay competition and wins the prize for best costume. There she meets Ken, a well-known photographer from the scene, who convinces her to pursue a career as an erotic cosplay model. Their relationship becomes more than professional as the photo shoots turn into a space where Tami can live out her fantasies. Later, Ken’s true intentions are revealed when his toxic behavior comes to light. This softcore film tells a colorful story of empowerment in a country with strict moral and obscenity laws – where real and explicit sex acts are legally banned in cinema.
