MIYAMATSU dies over and over again, but only for the camera. His hobby as an extra in gangster and samurai films makes his otherwise unremarkable life as a cable car driver a little more pleasant. But being a character without a name or a story has left its mark – as MIYAMATSU realizes when he has to play the leading role in his own life.
