Shuukatsu is a process that takes place during a university students’ final year in Japan where students look for a job before graduating. It is a physically and mentally tough challenge where students wear similar looking suits and attend job fairs, employment seminars, and job interviews with the objective of securing a job offer. It is a gauntlet thrown at students by tough interviewers. Hard enough. Imagine being amidst an army of people all competing against you. Scary, right? This film tells five stories based on a variety of interview candidates who must draw upon their survival instincts to succeed. Episode 1: ‟Invisible Partner‟ (Totani Kimito). episode 2: ‟Spread‟ (Yokohama Ryusei). Episode 3: ‟Survival‟ (Tomoki Hirose). Episode 4: ‟Waiting Room‟ (Watanabe Shu and Sakurada Dori).
