A director rises to the top of the adult video industry at the height of Japan's bubble economy. This moving film depicts his glory and downfall, and the human drama surrounding him.　The actors were also great. I can see the actual director and actresses on youtube, but the actors looked just like them. The director of the main character in this story is still active in the adult video industry.
