A dying town launches a rebranding campaign that no one seems to be running.
The billboards appear overnight. The slogans don't explain themselves.
A diner waitress says nobody puts them up, and nobody takes them down.
A couple arrives expecting ironic tourism and finds something closer to a live experiment.
Beauchêne doesn't ask visitors to believe anything.
It only asks them to stay. To notice. To participate.
What begins as small-town decay becomes a slow, sideways unraveling...
murals that feel instructional, civic programs that behave like dares,
and a town that seems increasingly aware of the people passing through it.
A surreal, slow-burn satire about American decline, anti-branding, and the strange comfort of entropy.
Meaning doesn't collapse here. It rebrands.
Entropy is a vibe.
Decline tastes like caramel.
Welcome to Beauchêne.
You're here now.
