One gangster, one policeman, one private eye and a Jean-Seberg-lookalike are the main characters in this surreal almost Monty-Python-esque film from the French-speaking part of Switzerland, the Romandie. The film, that actually ends tragically like A bout de souffle - but only for the villain! - , succeeds probably exactly because it hasn't got Swiss written all over it. While Pas de cafe, pas de tele pas de sexe is both funny and political, this one is strictly for the lovers of the strange and the intertextual - although the film should not be underestimated, either. In any case, it's a very funny film.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
