Samurai non Grata
In Europe, in France, in Paris in particular, the lives of three people intertwine as business and other affairs unfold. Yoshiaki Hongo is the polyglot son of a well-traveled Japanese banker, who now works as a "trader," or "smuggler." Narcissistic, he likes to work out and sculpt his body, to make up for his lack of stamina in bed. Rintaro Norimizu is a former member of the Japanese SDF and French Foreign Legion who fought in Chad and Libya. Now he is a mercenary who sells his services to the highest bidder. Fuchi is a Vietnamese woman of Chinese descent, a fashion model who fled Saigon by helicopter at the age of five, who likes to use her charms to get what she wants. Through four independent story-lines, we follow the misadventures of these characters, sometimes opposed and sometimes joining forces.
