In the land of Chamoux, there are powerful women from the 2020s who are unable to get a raise, hyper-efficient secret agents who are unaware of their abilities, friends who listen without seeming to, and women who believe in telekinesis. There are girls who count quickly and accurately, girls who speak too softly, and girls who think too loudly. The common thread is Elise Lucide, an insatiable and sensationalist investigative reporter, a pure product of the old-school French media landscape, determined to bring viewers the purest essence of this terra incognita: female humor. From couple's life to palliative care, from schools to Comedy Clubs, Chamouxland is a journey to the limits of the post-modern, post-feminist, and post-Me-Too world.

In this world of media, where you can film someone's private life or the worst acts of violence, 'No Pain No Shame' breaks through the boundaries between reporting and cinema. Issa, a young French man originating from Africa, just got out of prison. His father decided to send him back to Ivory Coast in order to drive him away from bad company. To immortalize his last 24 hours in his suburbs, Issa decides to film everything with his video camera. Where will the exhilaration and euphoria of this departure lead this group of friends?
