Almost ten years later, the whimsical UFO (s) seems to take over, while providing comic lighting to the genre. In the 1970s, Didier Mathure, brilliant space engineer, chained problems. The rocket for which he is responsible has just exploded in full flight and he is therefore transferred to GEPAN, an organization responsible for studying UFOs. In this wacky series, Melvil Poupaud surprises in a offbeat and twisted role.

A tour de force, which will not clearly appeal to everyone, but which should at least intrigue some.
