Created by French surrealist artist Roland Topor and director Henri Xhonneux, Telecat is a news show parody hosted by a tomcat named Groucha (who always had his arm in plaster) and an ostrich named Lola. It featured a variety of sentient objects and revolved around the idea that the real-life elementary particles known as gluons were “the souls of objects”.

Ludovic, a 12-year-old boy from a well-off home who is neglected by his parents, who are part of the art scene, falls head over heels in love with Sofie, the daughter of a piano teacher, when he has to pass a test of courage in the schoolyard during recess. The cheeky girl with the two pigtails likes the boy who is interested in her. They soon get closer and meet in secret places in the city. It is the first love for both of them. Shortly after Sofie's father catches the two lovers in bed together in Sofie's room, Ludovic is sent away from Brussels to spend time with his grandparents. But Sofie can't stand it without Ludovic and runs away from home to be with him. The lovers hide in abandoned buildings on the Belgian coast. While parents and police search for the couple, both youngsters find that it is pretty hard to be on their own, especially since an ominous photographer is lurking around the children.

One man leaves, another returns, the hero's journey. An extraordinary man reflects on his life, work and the love of his estranged wife and reluctant son, not eager to take the journey. The man's reality is haunted by a past of fascination and ambition, told through the reflections of sirens in five languages and international locations. A multi-part nonlinear narrative, music-driven and based on beat-poetics, is represented as a portal network. Inspired by Carolyn Cassady's Off the Road: Twenty Years with Cassady, Kerouac and Ginsberg.
