Antoine is an idiot. At least, that’s what his suburban lower middle-class family thinks, for whom education and success are all-powerful magic formulas. Antoine is twenty-five, he’s out of work and, although he diligently studies books on how to turn fear into success, his hopes at finding a better job than his last one as a sales clerk in a hardware store, are pretty minimal. Things get really bad when his younger brother is given a company BMW. Desperate for recognition from his family, Antoine tries to find a decent position but, after one failed interview after another, he starts to lose all sense of reality: he dreams up a fantastic CV, forges a university diploma and gets progressively more entangled in a web of absurd lies. The more effort he makes, the more inexorably he fails, which only fuels his growing anxiety and aggression... Tom Geens’s video film begins to resemble a hurricane: from its curt and simple starting point, it gradually whips itself up into a whirlwind, sucking in more and more characters with increasing inner tension and velocity. The movie draws on the viewer’s emotions, pulling him right into the eye of the storm – a liberating catharsis.
