[Machine Translation] A Workplace" director Funabashi Jun approaches the dark side of modern society with a "documentary x drama" approach. The film questions why the recidivism rate of prisoners in Japan is 50% and the intolerance of modern society that lies behind it. This film is a drama inspired by the activities of an actual employment information magazine that assists in the recruitment of prisoners. The director is Funabashi Jun, who has worked on a wide range of films from dramas to documentaries. Like his previous work "A Workplace," which was based on an actual sexual harassment case and improvised with actors, Funabashi also serves as producer, and with almost the same cast and crew as his previous work, depicts the problems that lie in the reintegration of ex-convicts into society. --The editorial team of "CHANGE," a job information magazine for ex-convicts, provides job placement and rehabilitation support to those released from prison. One of the team, Fujimura ( 35 ), is in charge of Tanaka ( 34 ), who has been in prison for 10 years for murder by hit-and-run. Misumi ( 37 ), a former teacher who served two years in prison for indecent assault on a female child, disappeared as soon as he got a job, much to the dismay of the team. Mori ( 30 ), who was released from prison after serving two years for drug addiction, works for a cleaning company, but has a long-standing communication disorder that makes it difficult for him to fit into society. Witnessing former inmates struggling to reintegrate into society, Fujimura and his team propose drama therapy, an American form of psychotherapy using theater. After repeated rehearsals with the ex-convicts, they finally put on a stage production of "Tsumibito".... The reaction of the audience on the first day of the performance was completely unexpected.

『ある職場』の舩橋淳監督が「ドキュメンタリー×ドラマ」の手法で迫る現代社会の暗部。日本の受刑者の再犯者率50%のワケと背後に横たわる現代社会の不寛容を問いかける渾身の一作! 本作は、受刑者の採用を支援している実在の就職情報誌の活動にヒントを得て制作された劇映画。監督は劇映画からドキュメンタリーまで幅広く手がける舩橋淳。実際のセクハラ事件に基づいて役者との即興劇で描いた前作『ある職場』と同様、自らプロデューサーも務め、前作とほぼ同じキャスト・スタッフで、前科者の社会復帰に横たわる問題を描いている。 ――受刑者向けの就職情報誌「CHANGE」編集チームは、出所者の就職あっせんと更生支援をしていた。チームのひとり藤村 (35)は、ひき逃げによる殺人罪で10年服役した田中 (34)を担当し、中華料理屋に就職させたもののキレやすい性格でトラブル続き。女子児童へのわいせつ行為により2年服役した元教師・三隅 (37)は、職に就いたとたんすぐ消息を絶ち、チームを落胆させる。薬物常習で2年服役後出所した森 (30)は清掃会社で働くものの、長年続くコミュニケーション障害でなかなか社会にフィットできない。社会復帰に向けてもがき苦しむ元受刑者を目の当たりにした藤村らは、アメリカの演劇による心理療法・ドラマセラピーを提案。元受刑者たちと稽古を重ね、舞台『ツミビト』を公演するまでに至るのだが・・・。舞台初日の観客の反応は、彼らにとって全くの予想外だった。
