Spoilers Ahead! This is the story of a young man who turns to sex work when he finds himself unemployed. This puts him in some very dangerous situations which leads to his murder; the story then continues on to follow his spirit in the afterlife until he is reincarnated. While the movie had the most full-frontal of male actors I've seen, the scene of his murder was horrific and disgusting to watch. It is one of the worst things I've seen and had I known that scene was in the movie, I wouldn't have watched this at all. It also is not a linear story, it bounces around so much it's hard to determine what is happening "now" or in the past.
