Project Dreams: How to Build Mazinger Z's Hangar

The emblematic anime series Mazinger Z, adapted from the manga by the legendary Go Nagai, has obsessed Japan for decades (while its French-dubbed version, the cult series Goldorak, certainly left its mark on Quebec and France). So when Asegawa (Hiroaki Ogi), marketing director at the prestigious Maeda Corporation, asked his team to put together a detailed file on the possible construction of the iconic Mazinger Z hangar, the project was greeted with enthusiasm by the character’s handful of fans, but with great disbelief by the majority of the office workers, who normally have their feet firmly planted in reality. So why work for weeks on the feasibility, deadlines, and costs of a fantasy construction project that will probably never see the light of day, to house a giant robot that doesn't exist? However, Asegawa's infectious spirit is slowly but surely spreading among his team. Together, they will do their utmost to achieve the impossible: make the imaginary real.
