Paul Berthos' doctor tells him he needs to get some exercise, and hands him some of those rubbery strings with handles. We had them around the house when I was a kid, sold by Jack Lalane and other exercise gurus. You could pull them apart, or attach them to a wall and get your whole body involved. As you might expect, Bertho attaches them to things that he should not.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy from the clash between a doctor's earnest prescription and a domestic space utterly unsuited for its execution. It relies on the visual gag of the exercise bands as agents of chaos to explore blind adherence to advice.

What lingers after viewing is the charm of a simple, well-executed physical farce, where each pull of the band escalates the destruction. A brief, cheerful reminder of silent comedy's universal language. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Romeo Bosetti
