Lola has an appointment at a cosmetic-surgery clinic, but a misunderstanding sets in.

The scouts
A cosmetic-surgery misunderstanding comedy sounds like the kind of safe premise every scout would pass on, but if Bournac actually subverts the body-horror-joke expectation and lands somewhere genuinely weird, that's worth the risk.
The absurdist tone suggests a lineage worth examining—whether this sits in the tradition of Tati-esque confusion comedy or something more contemporary—though two minutes leaves little room to establish formal sophistication or argumentative depth.
Two minutes to make a cosmetic-clinic premise *work* means everything hinges on a single choice: the rhythm of the misunderstanding, the performance detail that sells it, the cut that lands the joke. If Bournac nails one of those, the economy of the format becomes an asset.
