The protagonist is Carmen X, a sexy female member of a terrorist gang. She asks her uncle Jean, a washed-up film director if she can borrow his beachside house to make a film with some friends, but they are in fact planning to rob a bank. During the robbery she falls in love with a security guard. The film intercuts between Carmen's escape with the guard, her uncle's attempt to make a comeback film, and a string quartet attempting to perform Beethoven.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A wildly inventive collage that treats a bank robbery, a love story, and a film-within-a-film with equal doses of eroticism and anarchic humor. Watching it feels like being let in on an elaborate artistic prank that keeps reinventing itself.
