About
Claire, Raphaël, Nicolas, Arnaud, Lucas and the others fight hard in life. But by struggling so much to get the best role, one always ends up inheriting the worst spot. So there is nothing left to do but growl, show your teeth, and bark! This pitiless fable explores power through the eyes of those who endure it. To what extent can you bow your head before biting back? In this wild bestiary, dark humor stands as the last bastion of humanity.
Based on the play Boxon(s) jusqu'à n'en plus pouvoir by Stéphane Jaubertie.
