SYNOPSIS

Gilles celebrates his thirty-fifth birthday with the finissage of his exhibition of contemporary nude photography. His heavily overweight brother Fred falls asleep drunk on a couch backstage. After Gilles wakes him up he realizes that someone has painted “Art has no borders” on the back of his head. So he pretends to be unconscious in front of the party guests - which sets off a cascade of rescue attempts leading ultimately to an evacuation by a fire department crane – all under the eyes of a sensationalist crowd, which in turn leaves the spectator with the question what she or he is more interested to look at.
