From the makers of Dream Girls, Shinjuku Boys introduces three ‘onnabes’ who work as hosts at the New Marilyn Club in Tokyo. Onnabes are women who live as men and have girlfriends, although they don't usually identify as lesbians. This is a remarkable documentary about the complexity of female sexuality in Japan today.
