C’est un réflexe nerveux on n’y peut rien

The burlesque escape of a big horny girl and a little bulimic girl who live in a controlled society where all feminine desires are severely punished.

Cloistered in a house, Thérèse and Palmier tirelessly repeat the same rituals. Every day, they strive to be perfect, on pain of being cut to pieces. One night, their bodies rebel and something begins to rumble inside them: Palmier is plagued by erotic thoughts and Thérèse dreams of delicious feasts. What to do with all these cravings that awaken when everyone else is sleeping soundly?

C'est un réflexe nerveux on n'y peut rien is a raw, political fable that seizes on the codes of buffoonery and burlesque to tell the story of the violence of female injunctions.
