Declared insane by her psychiatrist, La Bajon escapes from the asylum to take over the intergalactic comedy scene. Don't resist and let yourself be carried away by this blast of gloom.

But, in the end, we only want one thing: to come back. La Bajon has achieved great popularity with its videos viewed several million times on social networks. She takes the pulse of France in many disguises: playing Pénélope Fillon's lawyer, Jacques Chirac's doctor, a postwoman, a construction site manager, or a policewoman lost in a 9-3 city.

Big Ears Listen with Feet

Artist-filmmakers Bêka & Lemoine take us to Bangkok on a one day hectic journey through the chaotic concrete jungle of the South-Asian megacity. Led by the moving personal story of Boonserm Premthada, one of today's most important Thai architects, the film unfolds through a free wander, punctuated by stunning encounters, events and places, which have contributed to shape Premthada's unique identity and sensibility. Deaf from birth, the architect evokes how his disability led him to develop an alternative way of listening using his whole body as a resonance chamber of sound vibrations. Despite their large ears, elephants also perceive sound mostly through their feet. Learning from elephants, Boonserm has developed an architecture of the senses where sound vibrations become the voice of space.
