Written and directed by Quentin Dupieux, this French anthology film follows a group of superhero humans called the Tobacco Force currently undergoing overwhelming circumstances.

While the team is regaining the bearing, an evil emperor arrives and decides to destroy the planet. The comedy science fiction film co-stars Gilles Lellouche, Vincent Lacoste, and Anaïs Demoustier.
