Avida

In a world where the wealthy lock themselves in their homes with angry pitbulls trained to protext them, and zoos open restaurants where they can dine on the animals on display, a mute animal handler (Gustave Kervern, who co-wrote/directed) falls in with a pair of zookeepers (Eric Martin and Benoit Delepine, who co-wrote and directed). Hooked on Ketamine, the trio plot to kidnap the pet pitbull of an extremely large wealthy women Avida (French plus-sized supermodel Velvet D’Amour).

But where professional crooks go, the trio make good zookeepers. Avida soon turns the tables on them, forcing them to help her take her own life.

Filmed in scatological black & white, this critically acclaimed surrealist comedy falls "somewhere between Monty Python, Jacques Tati and a slideshow of New Yorker cartoons" (Variety).
