Plot

The film is a satire on the modern advertisement business. The plot mainly concerns the story of a commercial advertisement designer, Octave Parango, who has an easy-going, highly paid job, and an active free life mainly consisting of drugs and random one-time sexual encounters. However, he starts growing weary of his job, and after having his first ever long-time relationship with fellow worker Sophie fail miserably, he organises a revolt against the advertisement business and his own life.
