In 2006 on Apple MacBookPro with final cut pro I created 1 h. 10 min. film: I edited together story bords that I made with Korean illustrator William Kim.

Lera believes him and goes to Tokyo, despite the fact that her family and boyfriend dont want her to go. On the plane, she meets another 2 girls. When they arrive to Tokyo, they start to work in the karaoke club in down town. 5 years past… Lera again and again keeps coming back to Japan. She is not able to forget her romance with one of her customers Nori.

"I loved the simplicity of the film by Mikio Naruse "When a woman ascends the stairs", and the focus on the everyday business side of life of a hostess, worrying about money, clients coming and going. It wasn't glamourous at all, but dealing with it like a job. Which really made me think of your book. I felt like having read it made me understand this better, and I was amazed how similar the situations seemed so many decades apart. Hope you get going on your film soon."
