Ključna riječ What If

Godina je 1987. Budući burzovni mešetar Jack Campbell (N. Cage) prihvaća jednogodišnje pripravništvo u uglednoj londonskoj banci i privremeno se, barem tako misli, rastaje od svoje velike studentske ljubavi Kate (T. Leoni). Kate predosjeća da Jackov odlazak znači svršetak njihove veze i moli ga da ostane. No, ambiciozni mladić odlazi u London... Badnjak, trinaest godina poslije. Jack je uspješni poslovni čovjek s Wall Streeta koji je upravo zaključio iznimno vrijedan posao spajanja poduzeća. Otuđen i usamljen na Badnju večer, Jack se iznenadi kada nakon toliko godina primi Kateinu poruku. Pitajući se kako bi mu život izgledao da ju nije napustio, na putu do stana naleti na beskućnika Casha (D. Cheadle) i spriječi ga u provali male prodavaonice ponudivši mu novac u zamjenu za lutrijski listić. Njihov je susret bio sudbonosan, jer se sutradan Jack probudi kao skromni obiteljski čovjek s dvoje djece i oženjen upravo s Kate..

What if mechanics told us the truth? What if Barbie and Ken really existed? What if hockey players were always polite with each other? These are the kinds of set-ups explored in this irreverent, absurd and nutty sketch comedy television show.

A silhouette animation anthology TV series conceived, written and directed by Michel Ocelot and realised at La Fabrique, consisting of short fantastical stories performed by the same animated "actors." A critical success but commercial failure at the time, no further episodes were commissioned beyond the initial 8, but, following the success of Ocelot's Kirikou and the Sorceress, 6 were edited into the 2000 feature Princes and Princesses, in which form they finally saw wide exposure and acclaim both in France and internationally; a further episode was included in a home release of short works in 2008, but one remains unavailable for public consumption.
