Here's Jasper Sharp's synopsis of The Glamorous Life of Sachiko Hanai from this page for the movie on the website of the Raindance Film Festival: "Sachiko Hanai is a call girl specialising in role-playing the type of lusty home tutor every adolescent boy dreams of having correct his homework. One day she inadvertently stumbles into a coffee shop interrupting some dodgy dealings. Tempers flare, guns are drawn and Sachiko finds herself in the path of a stray bullet that hits her bang in the centre of her forehead. Dazed and confused, she wanders into the streets, not noticing a mysterious metal canister being inserted into her handbag. Her attempts at dislodging the bullet with an eye-liner pencil set off a volley of flashing lights and strange images; suddenly Sachiko finds herself able to speak foreign languages and solve complex formulae, making her much in demand as a bona-fide tutor. Unfortunately, the cylinder contains a replica of the finger of the US president, whose fingerprint is capable of unleashing nuclear Armageddon. Sachiko soon begins to finds herself the subject of unprecedented international attention. Meike's sexy, anarchic, satirical romp was originally released into pink cinemas in a 65-minute version called Horny Home Tutor: Teacher's Love Juice, but proved so popular that a 'director's cut' was prepared, featuring enough raunch, humour and weirdness to please all but the most po-faced. The depiction of the current incumbent at the White House is particularly to be savoured."
