Alice is a happily married woman with Christophe, who loves her deeply despite suffering facial deformation. His life changes dramatically following a cosmetic operation, but also that of her husband, a man becomes extremely jealous and possessive.
Oulage has it all planned: New Year's eve, at the stroke of midnight, he'll finally kiss Brigitte, the girl he's madly in love with. That'll be the moment, because Brigitte is having a costume party. Oulage has it all planned—except for the fact that Brigitte has also invited a gang of truly parasitical friends: an old girl friend who never leaves Brigitte's side, a manic-depressive police officer, a paranoid psychopath, a cannabis-addict suffering withdrawal pains, a stunning Cuban woman on the prowl for immigration papers, and many others who do everything to ruin Oulage's life.
This fantasy experimental short film was made for ‘The awakening of the spring’, a spectacle staged by Bruno Lajara presented at the Festival of Avignon.
