[Machine Translation] Don't laugh at my life. A forty year old man who has been out of the game, had an affair, gambled, and borrowed money, has decided to revive his life by competing in a bicycle race. The scene of the bicycle race, in which the actors spent a month training at a real bicycle racing school, is overwhelmingly realistic, and the scene of the men with their lives on their shoulders colliding with each other is truly "real"! The film is directed by Kang Eguchi, a creator who has won awards at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival for three years in a row, and has also directed a film for the Tokyo Olympics bid. The lead actor is Kenichi Abe, who aspired to become a bicycle racer. --He is a former professional baseball player who has been given a notice of withdrawal from the game. He indulges in pachinko and alcohol, leaves his wife and children, and has a gay affair. The protagonist is on the precipice of a comeback in "Bicycle Racing"! He is confronted with harsh training and the cold stares of young people more than 20 years his junior as he ventures into a world where his past glory is no longer valid. And he is confronted by the cold stares of young people more than 20 years his junior, and himself, whose self-indulgent lifestyle has become ingrained in him.... Leaflet (8 pages) will be included.
