The most unhinged directing masterclass you'll ever witness.
Female ADs who take off their clothes when they say "the one who can't take off can't be a director", and who self-blow to become a director when they say "hold". In a sense, obedient female ADs have to be used in rehearsals. If the actress asks, "How do you want to have sex?", I'll let the female AD SEX. Those who can get around well will make actors, soup men, and staff squid one after another ... But if you can make a man so comfortable, you should turn to an actress ...?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This title parodies Japan's actual 'AD system,' where assistant directors endure brutal hazing for years before directing. The sexualization literalizes what critics call systemic exploitation.
The 310-minute runtime deliberately mirrors the endurance tests real ADs face; Saka reportedly screened rough cuts to actual industry veterans who walked out, which he considered 'data.'
