Mao Hotta undresses for the first time

Her first film, and Mao Hotta sets the shape of it herself. Clothes come away in stages, each layer paused over before the next one follows. She is small framed and full through the chest, dark hair loose, turning as much for her own benefit as the lens. Nothing gets announced. She simply keeps going until there is nothing left to take off.

A debut striptease can go stiff. This one holds together because she keeps eye contact through most of it, half amused, and the camera sits close enough to register every small shift in her expression.
