Synopsis

Jean-Pierre is a respectable, straitlaced mattress salesman, the polar opposite of his brother, Not, who calls himself "the oldest punk with a dog in France". When Jean-Pierre’s life begins to unravel, Not takes him under his mohawked wing, transforming him into an anti-establishment, machine-raging rebel. As the pair clumsily embrace anarchy, they attempt to spark a cultural revolution against society and conformity.
