| from an imdb review
Despite the happy sounding title "Strawberry Shortcakes" is not a sweet comedy but rather a candid and sometimes harsh look at life in Tokyo as seen through the eyes of four lonely young women...
Cheerful Satoko (Ikewaki Chizuru) is a receptionist for an Escort Service, "Heaven's Gate". Having survived a particularly rough breakup while still a teenager (she was dating a much older boyfriend), Satoko is resigned to the fact that she may not find true love again. When she's not trying to dodge the advances of her horny boss, she lives a quiet and lonesome life in a tiny apartment. She finds some solace by praying to a odd shaped stone which she thinks has the "face of god" on it.
One of her few friends at work is the classy and attractive Akiyo (Nakamura Yuko) who has a morbid fascination with death (she sleeps in a coffin!) and dreams of a day when she can get out of the Escort business, buy a condo and be in a real relationship. She longs for a former classmate who only sees her as a close friend and nothing more.
