This gleefully smutty animated comedy from Nicolas Athane and Marco Nguyen imagines a preening Parisian gay influencer infected with heterosis, a virus that slowly turns its victims from tight-panted gym queens to dadbods who understand the offside rule.

What follows is a frantic barrage of jokes about gym culture, sex toys, fetishes, football obsession and queer tribalism, delivered with crass energy and Smarties-coloured animation.

Alex Ramirès brings swagger and vulnerability to the narcissistic Jim, while Jérémy Gillet’s sheltered twink Lucien adds sweetness beneath the profanity.

Fashioned in the anarchic style of Rick and Morty, the film’s musical flourishes and takedown of gay and straight cliches are always amusing, if old-school end of the pier. The heavier Aids-adjacent allegory is a gamble beside the cartoon absurdity. But midnight audiences at Cannes were laughing too hard to care.
