Sawada works as an assistant to a renowned artist, who shamelessly exploits his talent. After he breaks his arm in a bike accident, he loses this job and out of boredom starts painting circles. When one of these paintings ends up in a posh art gallery, Sawada’s life is turned upside down in Naoko OGIGAMI’s comedy about the absurdities of the art business.
