Director Young Man Kang http://www.youngmankang.com A seemingly innocent woman becomes involved in the netherworld of massage parlors in this drama. Maya is a young Asian woman who arrives one day at a seedy massage parlor in a run-down neighborhood in Los Angeles. Dressed in shabby clothes and speaking in broken English, she asks Mamasan, who runs the parlor, for a job, and Mamasan immediately puts the attractive Maya on staff. While obviously new to the world of "shower and massage" - which is about sex rather than physical therapy - Maya soon becomes one of the most popular women working the parlor, and she soon bonds with her co-workers, including the thick-skinned Asia, vulnerable Yuko, practical Jenna, and self-centered Sammy. Maya also gets to know Harry, a freelance writer and would-be poet who at the age of thirty has yet to lose his virginity. As he stops in for the occasional "massage," Maya and the painfully shy Harry find themselves developing a very non-businesslike infatuation for one another, and as she confronts her growing love for Harry, Maya must come to terms with the secret that brought her to the parlor in the first place. 'Soap Girl' has Five Stars! One of The 10 Best Unseen Films of 2002" -Film Threat- 'Soap Girl' a candid, honest drama" -Honolulu Advertiser- "Soap Girl', the love story is so engaging that viewers are likely to suspend their knowledge of life and love" -Star Bulletin- "Soap Girl, Director Kang has been all over the indie/low-budget map. Girl may grant him larger success, or at least a touch of controversy. Seems some people are all up in arms with his portrayal of Asian women as comely lovecats, though from what we've seen, it looks like a winning combo of beauty and brains." -imdb.com-
