[ Story ]
Drama about an indie film director struggling desperately to break free of his dissolute lifestyle. Director Uchida Eiji, whose previous film GREATFUL DEAD was screened at fantastic film festivals within Japan and abroad, depicts the dreams and realities of indie filmmakers.
Tetsuo (Shibukawa Kiyohiko), whose sole achievement is winning a prize at a film festival, leads a pointless life that consists of bringing actresses back to his pad. Meeting newbie actress Minami (Okano Maya) motivates him to get his new film off the ground, but he runs smack up against harsh reality.
