In this frantic 90s comedy, we follow the life of an apathetic husband named Roy, who is trapped in a family and work routine that feels overwhelming. His only escape is television, where he loses himself in marathons of absurd shows and commercials. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when, after an argument with his wife, he comes across a mysterious remote control that allows him to dive headfirst into the world of television programs.
Itβs no longer just about watching: Roy becomes a part of the shows! He travels through genres and formats, from classic comedies to spine-chilling horror, facing increasingly ridiculous situations. Meanwhile, his wife tries to rescue him from this surreal journey but realizes that her husband has become a prisoner of his own screen addiction.
With the pressure to return to reality, Roy must navigate this chaotic television universe and learn to value what truly matters in his life before it turns into a recurrent bad joke. As time runs out and the channel surfing becomes more dangerous, comedy blends with adventure in a journey through the tropes of the pop culture of the time. In the end, Roy discovers that there is much more to life than simply being "connected."
