Synopsis

Robots have taken over the earth and thrive on the surface while humans have gone underground. In order to win the war, humans must dissolve the robots oil supplies with their agent x detergent. A bionic spy named Vlevet 98 leads the battle against the robots. But after a sneak attack by Chinese dancing robots, Velvet 98 is hurt badly by their deadly bullets. Later, a delicate surgery is performed on the protagonist, and Velvet 98 transforms into Velvet 99..... a bionic spy snail. This short French film is a daring approach to the sci-fi genre. With live action and animation, VELVET 99 preoccupies the viewer with its original pop-art style.
