Toward the end of the 23rd century, the United States has been transformed into a post-atomic dictatorship. The body of a man is found; he is a jazz clarinet player and the owner of a health store who had been hibernated by mistake two centuries earlier. After waking up, the man pretends to be a robot and joins the resistance fighters. Woody Allen re-elaborates 1960s and ’70s political science fiction and gives free rein to his frenetic and anarchic humor. Bananas, set in the future.
