Shimada is an out of luck actor in search of offers for a role. Finally, luck seems to be on his side when he finds a job with an agency called “Friendship”. Here, actors can be hired by private persons and help them reenact whatever situation they have in mind. Gradually, Shimada discovers the personal stories behind the bizarre requests of his customers.
