[ Story ]

One of the comical short films by seven directors all with strong personalities depicting the nature of "hijoshi (women who have given up on their womanhood)." The work depicts with a bizarre touch of comedy the straightforward passion of an actress who claims to want to play a male role. It is directed by Kawano Kohji of The two guerrilla gardeners (Hana guerrilla). An audition for a gangster film is held for a replacement of the lead actor who has fallen ill. The audition, however, seems to be a failure as they cannot find an actor who matches their image. Then, the next four candidates walk into the room and one of them is obviously a woman (Katagiri Hairi).
