The Contestant plot

'The Contestant' centers on aspiring comedian Tomoaki Hamatsu, nicknamed Nasubi. In 1998, Nasubi thought he was going to an audition, but television producer Toshio Tsuchiya led him into a room, ordered him to undress and left him with a stack of magazines. Nasubi's job was to fill out contest coupons to win what he needed to survive until he reached the prize goal of one million yen. Although Nasubi could have left at any time, he remained for months with a determination to complete his mission. What Nasubi didn't realize was that his experiences were being televised to more than fifteen million people.
