The Stratosphere Girl

Drawing manga-style comics is Angela's passion, but it won't get the dreamy, 18 year-old blonde out of her European hometown. Hungry for adventure, Angela spontaneously takes up the idea of Japanese DJ Yamamoto, whom she meets at her graduation party and flies to Tokyo to work as a hostess. Tokyo instantly casts its spell on the impressionable youth and her comics soon turn into threatening, violent action comics that unreel before her eyes with terrifying vividness. Angela plunges into a dark story of cruelty and murder, of naive young European women swallowed up into the brightly lit nights of downtown Tokyo, of men so powerful that even the police steer clear of them.
