A darkly comedic hostage thriller that weaponizes theatrical performance and audience manipulation to explore boredom, dissatisfaction, and the blurred line between entertainment and control.

In the middle of a performance of the play "Le Cocu", a bad boulevard comedy at a Parisian theatre, Yannick gets up and interrupts the show to take the evening back in hand.
