As a young indie director, Tetsuo had one big hit – after many failures, he has turned into a cynical dickhead. One day, he meets Ken, a talented scriptwriter, and Hiromi, a promising actress. Can they help him make his breakthrough? Eiji UCHIDA’s biting satire depicts the film business as a perverted rat race. Outstanding acting performances bring his vision closer to the truth than you might wish.

Director Bio
Eiji UCHIDA was born in Brazil in 1971. In Japan, he began his career as a director of TV films and series before giving his cinema debut as a director and writer with GACHAPON (2004). His film GREATFUL DEAD (2013), which was screened at various festivals, brought him international recognition.
