Plot

2LDK is the Japanese abbreviation for a two-bedroom apartment with a living room, dining room, and kitchen. The title makes perfect sense since the entirety of the film is confined to this one apartment. Living harmoniously, at least at first, in this apartment are two ladies, Nozomi and Lana. Nozomi is the quiet, small-town actress trying to break into the movies. Lana is the ripened and somewhat jaded studio whore who’s desperate for one more chance to be a star.

Early on the film, the two find out that the leading female role in a big-budget yakuza picture has been narrowed down to them. To aggravate an already volatile situation, the two ladies also discover that they’re both sleeping with the same man!
