Gushing Prayer: A 15-Year-Old Prostitute, also known as Shikijo ama: Rashomon, is a 1992 Japanese erotic drama film directed by Masao Adachi. The story revolves around Yasuko, a 15-year-old girl who works as a prostitute in Tokyo. She has been in the sex industry for a while, and her job has left her numb and emotionally detached from others.
One night, Yasuko participates in an orgy, where she realizes that she has lost all physical and emotional sensation. Disappointed and confused, Yasuko sets out on a journey of self-discovery to find out how and why she has become so desensitized at such a young age.
She meets several men who are interested in her, including a filmmaker and an aging professor. Through her experiences with these men and other women, Yasuko begins to understand herself better and regain her sense of self-worth.
The film deals with the themes of sexuality, power, and exploitation in the sex industry, as well as the complexities of female adolescence. It has been praised for its raw, unflinching portrayal of a young woman's struggle to find herself in a world that often treats her as a commodity. However, it has also been criticized for its graphic depictions of sex and its potentially exploitative treatment of its young lead actress.
