WATCH: Has possession ever looked this sexy? ‘Body Shop’ is an erotic ghost story unlike any other
Body Shop, a young soldier dies in a tragic accident, but finds himself sticking around our mortal coil as a ghost with the ability to inhabit other’s bodies.So, when he sets off on a journey to find and reunite with his transgender sister, he… maybe gets a little distracted by this unique gift, possessing folks he meets along the way and specifically meddling in the romances of unfaithful lovers.Sounds messy—but hot!
Can you blame him?His sexual odyssey takes him from Taiwan to Japan to Spain to Thailand, but it’s when he arrives in Hong Kong that he meets a kindred spirit who he soon realizes is his soul mate.
Together, the two seek refuge amid the region’s massive protests and demonstrations (a major news story in 2019) and eventually find themselves at an eccentric garage—the titular “body shop”—where they can hide and protect their love from the rest of the world.However, it’s here that the story of Body Shop takes a turn into even darker, more daring territory.
