Synopsis
A spectator, a string puppet, applauds the magic tricks of the Femme Papillon, another string puppet with whom he’s in love. His clapping is so forceful that it snaps his strings. Suddenly free, he runs to the Femme Papillon, in the hope of winning her love by freeing her from her destiny.

Terror, Sisters!, by Alexis Langlois
2055. Steevyshady, an overly botoxed Youtuber tells their idol’s mad destiny: we follow pop diva singer Mimi Madamour from the very peak of her career in 2005, all the way down to the pits of hell, a downfall brought about by her love story with punk icon Billie Kohler. For half a century these drama queens have sung their passion and their rage high upon a stage.
🤩 Alexis Langlois is currently presenting his first feature film, Queens Of Drama, at Cannes (Semaine de la Critique).
