What Is What a Flash! About?
The premise of What a Flash! without spoilers.
The French producers gathered about 100 participants, placed them on a soundstage and asked them to improvise a story in which they are aboard a spaceship fleeing Earth’s dictators with only days left. The untrained improvisers produce a mix of extremes—an allegorical reenactment of Jesus’ life, a wedding, an orgy, and tender moments—making the experiment both risky and revealing about large‑group improvisation.
