In his first play, Philippe Claudel paints a jubilant picture of our society and reviews all our excesses: from the education of children to the contempt of the mother-in-law, from hypochondria in men to cosmetic surgery in women, from fake intellectuals to political hypocrisy, from sexual freedom to junk food...!
