此片是盧貝松再影壇還沒沒無聞時，憑著一腔熱血，旺盛活力與爆發力， 突破一切傳統，掙脫一切商業機制下的樊籠，冒著無色彩，無對話，無明星等大諱所完成的電影。當影片完成時，因宣傳無門，于是盧貝松帶著這部影片參加瑞士阿沃基影展，一舉拿下評審特別大獎及影評人獎，因而打開他的國際知名度。解剖核子戰后的文明廢墟，因為無色彩，所以這是一部黑白色調的電影。

　　Anna is stuck: she's approaching 30, living like a hermit in her mum's garden shed and wondering why the suffragettes ever bothered. She spends her days making videos using her thumbs as actors - thumbs that bicker about things like whether Yogi Bear is a moral or existential nihilist. But Anna doesn't show these videos to anyone and no one knows what they are for. A week before her birthday her Mum serves her an ultimatum - she needs to move out of the shed, get a haircut that doesn't put her gender in question and stop dressing like a homeless teenager. Naturally, Anna tells her Mum to "back the f-off". However, when her school friend comes to visit, Anna's self-imposed isolation becomes impossible to maintain. Soon she is entangled with a troubled eight year old boy obsessed with Westerns, and the local estate agent whose awkward interpersonal skills continually undermine his attempts to seduce her.
