As stated in the summary of this film, it's one following three trans men who work at hosts in Shinjuku's New Marilyn Club. It's a very open and honest view into their lives, their feelings and just general life for them, talking about things such as their sexual lives to their families along with their view on relationships as a whole.
It's not presented as a "Oh, look at THESE people" type of film, which as an LGBT person myself I always shudder at encountering with older documentaries, but rather a journey into lives of normal people living their lives and their thoughts and feelings.
As someone who personally has a strange relationship to gender, a lot of the quotes from the movie hit home for me, despite the centuries and place of difference. I personally have not found any followup for this film in terms of where they are now, but this little journey makes you hope they're all doing well years later.
