[ Story ]
Drama that wrestles with the question, "Is school about education or profit?" Real-life teacher Hihara Shintaro directs this authentic depiction of education on the front lines by having his students play themselves.
Film school instructor Tahara (Mine Goichi) is dismayed that his students are stymied in their creative pursuits because of the school's profit-oriented management. When Tahara unexpectedly becomes the head of the film department, he tries to reform the department based on his own ideals, but things don't go as expected.
