AV stands for Adult Video, which means: sex film. Yamaguchi is the big star of the Japanese sex film, and everything is going very well for him - he has plenty of money, enjoys his work, and now he is marrying the biggest female porn star Natsuki, who is expecting a child from him. But when he faces a ghost from the past during a shoot, even the top professional gets confused. Is what he has enough, too much or too little? Director NAKAMURA, who like many young Japanese directors completed his apprenticeship in Japan's huge sex film industry, takes a humorous but seriously interested look at the lives of the AV protagonists. BASTONI - THE STICK HANDLERS describes the normal conflicts between desires, passions, the mind, the loins and necessities of life.
