Joroba

Born with a congenital muscular disorder, Shaka's life unfolds in a room at a nursing home on the outskirts of Tokyo. Although Shaka's physical life is limited—she relies on an electric wheelchair to get around and a ventilator to live—her dynamic and audacious spirit knows no bounds: she takes online courses on her iPad, posts erotic fantasies on websites, and shares biting tweets on social media ("In another life, I'd like to work as a high-class prostitute"). One day, she tweets an offer of a huge sum of money in exchange for a sperm donor. To her astonishment, her new caregiver accepts the challenge, setting off a chain of events that will forever change Shaka's perception of herself.
