Directed by Gakuryu Ishii

Gakuryu Ishii, who is a professor of film course at Kobe Institute of Technology, suddenly disappears after falling into a mad state driven by his own idea of "self-revolutionary movie struggle work". His assistant professor Takeda and assistant Tanimoto are perplexed by the "work text for inner consciousness revolution aimed at expanding the imagination and recognition of the individual and strengthening the will" that he left behind, but try to turn it into practice with the students. By practicing, the students get lost in a labyrinthine world of expanded imagination and expanded consciousness, just like in a film. At the same time, Takeda pursues the shadow of Ishii.
