L'anniversaire de Bob
Court métrage d’animation sur les remises en question existentielles d’un homme au bord de la crise de la quarantaine. Bob est dentiste. Le jour de ses 40 ans, tout lui paraît soudain moins rose : ses patients l’importunent, ses amis l'ennuient, son futur l'inquiète. Quel sens donner à sa vie? Durant ce temps, sa femme lui prépare une fête-surprise. Mais qui de Bob, de Martine ou des invités sera le plus surpris? Une cascade de rires qui guérit de tous les maux de l'âme!
