(france) Martin Parge

62K0

Being smart doesn't bring happiness - that's what 25-year-old Antoine thinks. He is extremely smart and obsessed with knowledge. He has been called a genius since he was a child, but his biggest problem is that he thinks too much. He feels that he is out of tune with society, fed up with his sensitive mind and excessive self-awareness, and vows to do whatever it takes to make himself stupid and become a happy "normal person". This incredible experiment was not difficult for Antoine, and he drew up a detailed action plan. In the process of becoming stupid, he encounters a long-winded alcoholic mentor, a relative who likes to chew his tongue, a strange suicide club member, a "successful person" who pursues fame and fortune, and a group of "husband and dog friends" who mess around. After some careful preparations and "lucky" mistakes, Antoine had accumulated enough tips and tricks, and finally rushed towards the road of "becoming stupid"...
