A witty satire follows three French pop idols as they scramble to remain in the spotlight. The film plunges into a chaotic press conference, backstage excess, psychedelic visuals, and the scheming of managers and disc jockeys, using these scenes to sharply lampoon modern pop culture. Shot on an independent budget, it delivers a biting, effective critique.
