In Bye Bye Morons (Adieu les cons), Suze Trappet (Virginie Efira) is a hairdresser.
As a result of ingesting toxic sprays over many years, she is dying. Aged 15 she was forced to give up her child, and now with a terminal sentence her dying wish is to find her lost son.
She is joined in her venture by Jean-Baptiste Cuchas (Albert Dupontel) who is determined to end his life in an attention-grabbing manner.
This has the makings of a fairly bleak film until Terry Gilliam, gun salesman par excellence, turns up. Gilliam, from the Monty Python team, brings a strong hint that farce is in the air, but a sense of desperation is never lost.
The adventures that ensue have the usual gags including a blind archivist driving on a wild chase.
