Desc: Erika 38: Directed by Yûichi Hibi. With Yuriko Abe, Yuri Akikawa, Miyoko Asada, Nanae Bando. Former pop idol Asada Miyoko plays Satoko, a 50-something club hostess who is lured into the grifting life and becomes lovers with a fellow con artist. After she's betrayed, Satoko flees to Thailand, where she takes up a new identity as a 38-year-old woman named Erica. In her final performance before her death last year, screen legend Kiki Kirin steals the film as Satoko's steelhearted mother - and possibly the person responsible for her daughter's criminal ways. Loosely based on a true story.
