Synopsis

Lakmi and Boomy are young go-getting streetwise guys from the booming (or should that be bombing?) startup Tetatoto.com. Through their complex relations with their hierarchical superiors- Lisa (head of PR) and Mr. Weller (the head honcho)- they begin to question the major issues that preoccupy us in this new millennium: the dangers of computer viruses, the collective psychosis engendered by mad cow disease and GM foods, the dilemmas of the shorter working week. Higher productivity, Webcam surveillance of employees, and why the server keeps crashing just as the shower scene is starting.... The myth of the triumphant startup is deconstructed with humor in the elegant critique of contemporary mores.
