Synopsis

For the sake of "survival" (and that is a stretchable term), artists agree to be part of various advertisements, promotions, events, which mainly serve to strengthen and perpetuate the capitalist machine and relations, and then return to their art, where they promote high humanistic ideals. Especially interesting are the "stalls" which precisely use these humanistic, civic and other ideals as a banal wafer for "twisting" their products and services (for example, banks). How, and if, can an artist preserve his integrity? What remains of his art, once it has been touched by banality? Pirouette on a banana peel.
