Description
Tired of traditional reality shows, the television audience wants blood, literally. One day, while out taking a walk in the Jardin des Plantes, Pannonique finds herself piled into a cattle-truck. Suddenly, it seems, anyone can be picked up and hauled off to the studio without a moment's notice.
Sulphuric Acid tells the story of this reality TV death camp which has become the nation's obsession—an amoral spectacle played out through the media. Following the shifting fortunes of Pannonique and her nemesis, it is a blackly funny and shocking satire about the modern predilection for celebrity and reality television.
