New film in progress - First teaser: December 2024.

The invisible and hectic life of a Dadaist billionaire. More invisible than the Yeti, more mysterious than the Loch Ness monster, stranger than the Bermuda triangle: Howard Hughes.

The invisible and hectic life of a Dadaist billionaire.

This investigation follows a man who, even in death (like Elvis?), is always several steps ahead of us and the mediocre billionaires of our time. A barely believable comedy.

A surrealistic comedy - An unreal true story.

This film will not show Howard Hughes (invisible the last 24 years of his life). Reconstructions, interpretations and a rich selection of analog archives will show the consequences of his choices and actions, secret or not, real or unreal.
