A Belgian woman looks back on her year at a Japanese corporation in Tokyo in 1990. She is Amélie, born in Japan, living there until age 5. After college graduation, she returns with a one-year contract as an interpreter. The vice president and section leader, both men, are boors, but her immediate supervisor, Ms. Mori, is beautiful and trustworthy. Amélie's downfall begins when she speaks perfect Japanese to clients. She compounds her failure by writing an excellent report for an enterprising colleague. The person she least expects to stab her in the back exposes her work. Thus begins her humiliations. What can become of her and of her relationship with Ms. Mori and with Japan?
Sylvie Testud stripping down naked in an office at night, dancing around from desk to desk as she ends up fully nude. She then does a hand-stand on one of the desks, touching the ceiling with her feet before cartwheeling off the desk. She then sits down at one of the desks with her breasts in view before finally getting dressed. From Fear and Trembling (AKA Stupeur et tremblements).
