Thought-provoking absurdist comedy… inside a crazy metaphysical thriller
“She” has but one goal: to accomplish her irreducible daily tasks at a pace robotically dictated by "the Machine".
Taken in by an online advertisement, the Woman-to-whom-nothing-happens is suddenly confronted by what she most dreads: that a thing should happen to her.
Described by French press outlets as a "thoroughly enjoyable, uproarious send-up," and "a theatrical UFO, with oddly rich, brilliant and inventive humor," La Femme à qui rien n'arrive will entertain you while keeping you on the edge of your seat (and may even make your hair stand on end).
