Sickened to see his students always sleeping in class, a teacher with a colleague and an anarchist start a war against the television. They climbed on Paris roofs to coat the T.V. antennas with a special product cutting the signal reception.

VIBE

A wild, anarchic romp through anti-media rebellion. It's a burst of chaotic energy, a visual gag-fest that feels like a fever dream of Parisian streets and rooftop stunts. Pure, unadulterated, and utterly bonkers.
