Head stuck in a toilet, dealers closing in—worst breakup recovery EVER.
Finding his ex in the nightclub where she works and convincing her to come back to live with him, that should be doable. Losing the dealer and the bar owner who left him for dead in the restroom for trying to steal their stash is still within his capabilities. However, removing his head stuck in the toilet bowl, that’s not a given.
Practical Effects

Acting
Jonathan Lambert's escalating panic is masterful
Writing
Tight huis-clos structure squeezes every laugh
Director
Grégory Morin
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Huis-clos is a French theatrical tradition—single location, escalating tension, usually existential dread. This one just adds a toilet.
Director Grégory Morin reportedly spent weeks testing toilet models to find one an actor could believably get stuck in without actually dying.
