Carpe Diem Restaurant (closed)
“It really needs to be the corner where all the real gamers come to get their game, the hardcore gamers’ corner.”
Benzaie (Benjamin Daniel)
Having lost his job, Benzaie (Benjamin Daniel) reflects on his future with a friend. He discusses with him the potential opening of his own video game store. Sitting at a table in the Carpe Diem restaurant in Angoulême, the audience soon realizes that Benzaie is talking to his imaginary friend Alpha Man (Jonathan Daniel).
The end of the discussion ends with the display of a generic notifying that Alpha Man is produced by Louis Chamer. This is a tribute to Masters of the Universe producer Lou Scheimer, who passed away just before the film was released.
The film had more than 2,500,000 views on Youtube at the beginning of 2022.
