With the help of a masked rebel driving a blue R8 Gordini, Mister R and his wife plot a radical clothing revolution and the assault of monochromatic orange totalitarianism. The absurd and the idiotic, with a libertarian impetus aiming at the overthrow of social codes and values, here are the main characteristics of this story. A kind of splash to the face of conventions and propriety. To provoke against the grain, a bit as if one wandered in shorts through a nudist village, not by sense of decency, but simply by desire to be different. But the subject of this story is not to criticize either the nudists or the emancipation of the Seventies, although... The most important for the main characters, is to break themselves of any form of standardization, whether liberal, ideological, moral, or linked to tastes or fashion..
