Alexandre, a young and honest farmer, is oppressed by an authoritarian wife, who makes him work like a dog. When she dies in a car crash, he decides to stay in bed, absolutely free and inactive. Just a dog is occupied to carry food and newspapers to him.

VIBE

A whimsical, retro comedy about a man who finds ultimate freedom in utter inaction. It's a lighthearted, absurdist romp that celebrates the joy of doing absolutely nothing.
