Synopsis

Takuji Kameoka is a 37 year old bachelor who has carved out a career as a supporting actor. Kameoka is very talented and in much demand, so he has never had to struggle for roles like many of his acting brethren. Unlike his action-filled days, Kameyama’s nights are not at all exciting and we mostly find him drinking alone in dive bars after a hard day under the lights. One night, after visiting a bar used as a location shoot, he meets and falls in love with the bar owner, the enticing Azumi. Right after this encounter, a world famous director offers Kameyama a leading role. Is this role what every actor dreams of? An opportunity to swap his humdrum life for major success?
