Japino
Two Pinay bar dancers working hard in the land of rising sun. Ayu searches for her father, who is a local; while Aki weighs on getting an abortion. Their lives overlap and intersect with one another, thus affecting their life decisions.

Their friends are horrified, and regret is setting in. They start plotting their revenge— and before they know it, they’re staging an off-Broadway play…
