It All Started with Taking It All Off (2012)
Overview
Morishita, who came to Tokyo from Akita, made her debut as an AV actress at the age of 18, and quickly became so popular that she was called an AV queen. After retiring from AV after 10 years of activity and publishing an autobiographical book, she made a movie based on it. Morishita looked back at the time in the process of making the script, but due to prejudice against the profession of an AV actress, the content of the script goes in an unexpected direction. Meanwhile, Morishita reunites with her hated father for the first time since moving to Tokyo.
