An actor who always plays supporting roles and lives in the shadow of his famous playwright father falls in love with an energetic aspiring actress and rediscovers himself.

Hiroshi, age 43, is an actor who always plays supporting roles and lives in the shadow of his famous novelist father, 72-year-old Kenta. Hiroshi has the virtue of being helpful to strangers, but as a result, like a chameleon, he is always mistaken for someone else: other actors, a sales clerk, a gas-station attendant--even a kidnapper. When the lead role of Hiroshi's dreams finally seems within reach, his contract is canceled after he is mistaken for another man who is having an affair with an MP's wife. Hiroshi is emotionally closed and has no luck with romance. One day, Hiroshi meets on the train energetic aspiring actress Aya, 32. She mistakes him for no one else, and he falls head over heels for her. With tips from his younger colleague Tomo, Hiroshi tries to make a move on Aya, but Hiroshi is his own worst enemy for landing the lead role, even in his own life.—Atsushi Ogata
