Michel Piccoli plays Themroc, whose boring life and depressing job finally causes him to crack up. Themroc causes mayhem at work, seduces his sister, eats a policeman for dinner and turns his flat into a cave.
The neighbours pretend there is nothing wrong and media coverage causes more and more of Paris to follow his example
This surreal movie has no dialog, but Piccoli's superb performance creates an entirely understandable person.
