Country - Spain [2009]
Although technically a Spanish production, the film deserves a mention here.
Ryu is a killer for hire, who works the night shift at the Tokyo fish market. Her only friend is elderly man with an interest in recording his silent conversations with Ryu. This man is also narrator to the story.
When, Midori, the daughter of a business man commits suicide, the man recedes into depression and blames David, his daughter's boyfriend, for the loss of his daughter. His confidante gives Ryu the contract for killing David. A sexual confusion arises between Ryu and David that dislodges something within Ryu and renders her incapable of killing David, who finds comfort in Ryu.
But as per Chekov , when a gun is introduced in the plot it must be fired.
