Bite The Apple
What if the Eurovision Song Contest were a secret plot to take over the world by forcing people to exercise daily to the winning song?

In this movie, a Eurovision-like song contest is the starting point of an Adam-and-Eve-like story involving hippies, bedazzled beards, lyrics lacking subtlety, and a literal deus ex machina. If this sounds baffling, we invited fellow The App...
