Businessmen competing for international building contracts in this globe-trotting comedy-adventure.

Sanada and Yamazaki's bromance fuels the whole engine.

Yojiro Takita
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Yojiro Takita later won the Foreign Language Oscar for Departures (2008), making this his 'before he was respectable' era. The cast's chemistry came from prior collaborations in the 'Company' series.
The film satirizes Japan's bubble-era corporate warriors at their most delusionally confident — watching it post-2020 hits different. The 'international business' depicted is essentially wealthy tourism with spreadsheets.
