A film director with a small indie hit many years back, yet he has never gotten any further as he refuses to go against his \u0027artistic integrity\u0027. He\u0027s a real loser. Despite being in his late 30s, he still lives with his mother and sister, borrowing money off them and scrounging from all he comes in contact with. This includes his best friend Mamoru (Yoshihiko Hosoda), who makes porn films with him for dodgy characters in order to make money, as well as the film actors\u0027 school they\u0027ve setup to exploit their students as well as for him to sleep with wannabe actresses. He\u0027s a real jerk. Then one day two new students come to his school: Minami (Maya Okano), a naive and fresh girl from the countryside who wants to be an actress and Ken (Shugo Oshinari), a scriptwriter who has been living overseas. Tetsuo sees something in Minami and feels she has what it takes to be a real star and Ken has a brilliant script which could be the fantastic new project which would relaunch his career as a director, with Minami his muse. With the help of Kida (Denden), an unsavory film producer, they strive to turn this project into something tangible, but Minami\u0027s ability starts to turn the heads of other film directors such as Kano (Kanji Furutachi) and Shinjo (Kanji Tsuda) and soon Tetsuo\u0027s world starts to fall apart at the seams... Will Tetsuo\u0027s past exploits catch up to him or will he be able to hold it all together and start afresh?","wins":0,"nominations":2,"casts":[{"name":"Masahiko Aoki","code":"nm5689880","characters":null},{"name":"Masato Arai","code":"nm7390669","characters":"Naoki"},{"name":"Denden","code":"nm0218942","characters":"Kida"},{"name":"Kanji Furutachi","code":"nm1967617","characters":"Kano"},{"name":"Y\u00fbmi Got\u00f4","code":"nm4771694","characters":"Hiromi"},{"name":"Hariken","code":"nm7390673","characters":null},{"name":"Tomoko Hayakawa","code":"nm2984377","characters":null},{"name":"Aki Hiraoka","code":"nm7162479","characters":"Miyuki"},{"name":"Yoshihiko Hosoda","code":"nm2596959","characters":"Mamoru"},{"name":"Beni It\u00f4","code":"nm6380258","characters":"Wife"},{"name":"Yamada James","code":"nm7390670","characters":"Akira"},{"name":"Nanami Kawakami","code":"nm7152416","characters":"Akina"},{"name":"H\u00f4ka Kinoshita","code":"nm0455837","characters":"Sato"},{"name":"Mayuko Kobayashi","code":"nm3136105","characters":"Tada"},{"name":"Riko Matsui","code":"nm4599394","characters":"Keiko"},{"name":"Club Matsumoto","code":"nm7390668","characters":"Mitamura"},{"name":"Masaya Mimura","code":"nm8406389","characters":"Company member"},{"name":"Mana Minamihisamitsu","code":"nm7103897","characters":null}],"budget":{"amount":60000,"currency":"USD"},"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":null,"keywords":[{"text":"porn actress"},{"text":"pornography"},{"text":"female nudity"},{"text":"japanese culture"},{"text":"film festival"}],"production":[{"id":"co0632348","text":"Libertas"},{"id":"co0195174","text":"Third Window Films"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[{"code":"tt0276935","title":"Electric Dragon 80.000 V"},{"code":"tt0495074","title":"Violent Streets"},{"code":"tt0147612","title":"Happiness"},{"code":"tt0080166","title":"Knockabout"},{"code":"tt4173494","title":"Love \u0026 Peace"},{"code":"tt3181588","title":"Greatful Dead"},{"code":"tt0199349","title":"Big Time Gambling Boss"},{"code":"tt0125298","title":"His Motorbike, Her Island"},{"code":"tt0100967","title":"Tiger Cage II"},{"code":"tt5645536","title":"Love and Other Cults"},{"code":"tt12774954","title":"Midnight Swan"},{"code":"tt4671274","title":"A Bride for Rip Van Winkle"}]}
