On the day he loses his job in advertising agency, Gérard Floque returns home to find that his infant daughter has been arrested for drugs trafficking and his wife is having an affair with a TV presenter. Gérard's only comfort in this time of mid-life crisis is his colleague, a young punk girl named Martine.

VIBE

A dizzying, darkly funny descent into utter chaos. It's a wild, punk-infused ride through existential despair and societal breakdown, where nothing is sacred and everything is hilariously, tragically absurd.
