A mix of satire, slapstick and straight ahead Roman Porno. We have two stories of Office Ladies in trouble, a pervert running amok in a park, references to Westside Story, Keystone Cops and other Roman Porno films. Naomi Tani and Yuko Katagiri appear as themselves, making fun of their on-screen personae. It’s a mad mad world.¡Ja me maaten...!

IMDB 0 | Sep , 2025
The Finger Wife is a domestic horror story with a delicious sense of humor - part 2D hand-drawn animation, part stop-motion, and all bizarro feminist propaganda! It’s 1975. A smart, ambitious woman (The Wife) is stuck in the kitchen. When feisty, martini-drinking Betty steps out of a 1950s cookbook, The Wife is confronted with what she really wants out of life (it's not to make another meatloaf). Faced with Betty’s tough love and in a desperate effort to find one goddamn minute for herself, The Wife takes matters into her own hands, with gleefully horrific results.Welcome to Hollywood
