From the first trailer, it seemed like this movie would just be all about the sex, however, after watching, it tells an unconventional, yet conventional story about love and relationships.

A story about how two sex workers - a veteran and a newbie - who meet by chance in a cheap hotel and eventually develop feelings for one another. Adela Johnson (the veteran who goes by many names), from the beginning of the movie, portrays herself as a strong woman, especially in front of others, but, is quite vulnerable and broken on the inside. The story about self-prostitution, it's pros and cons and the reality that comes with it is all portrayed just between two characters and two characters alone - Adela and Ram.

Ram (the newbie), on the other hand, is a seemingly clueless anime nerd from the countryside, who continuously, but cringely continues to call and refer to Adela as his senpai (and is even wearing a Dragon Ball Z T-shirt when he first meets Adela).

The character development of both as they learn to go through life with one another as previously lonely people, portrays itself realistically despite alluded time jumps. I found the acting and the chemistry between the lead characters quite convincing, which lead to the story itself being convincing even though the script itself is powerful. The ending (of how both want to give up the life of a sex worker and the money that comes with it to love each other and change) itself comes full circle as both wind up in the cheap hotel where they met, though unrealistic, is a nice wrap-up to the story.
