What does it mean to be an actor?

A meta-theatrical comedy-drama about the absurdities of filmmaking and artistic autonomy, where a cast of eccentric actors challenge institutional control through collective rebellion.

Drafted to shoot a new film, Tadashi Kobayashi, a director with festival marketability, is strong-armed by the studio into hiring two famous actresses as leads. The cast of self-unaware weirdos that constitute the budding players become increasingly overwhelmed and emboldened until they stage their own micro-revolution.
