On a rare night off, parking attendant Yannick goes to the theater to catch a production of the comedy The Cuckold. Dissatisfied by the boring performance, Yannick hijacks the show: he takes the theater hostage and demands to become the playwright.

In this hilarious satire, social contracts are broken and hackneyed forms of entertainment are upended. Corralling a brilliant cast into a boisterous deconstruction of actors’ egos and audience expectations, Quentin Dupieux revels in the insights of an outsider in his latest meta-provocation.
