Thomas B., chain smoker, has decided to quit.
In hospital wards with tobacco experts, in labs where scientists test addiction on rats, he tries to understand the mechanisms of dependence and forget the pleasures of smoking...
A documentary comedy that is the proof that a scientific film can be funny.
