A surreal, darkly comic descent into societal chaos that uses grotesque imagery and absurdist logic to critique consumer capitalism and bourgeois complacency.

A supposedly idyllic weekend trip to the countryside turns into a never-ending nightmare of traffic jams, revolution, cannibalism and murder as French bourgeois society starts to collapse under the weight of its own consumer preoccupations.
