Reims Et Le Fort de La Pompelle (1920)

Laughter, said to be the best medicine, perhaps even a drug to the human body, is something specifically human. Universal to all humankind, common in every culture, shared throughout the ages, it transcends nearly any boundary. Laughter is usually the safest and cheapest medicine of choice. However, as with any drug, it is possible for one to overdose, even on laughter or, in this case, comedy. Johnny Folke was one such person. He laughed at the world and, in doing so, made the world laugh even harder. A brilliant comedian, styling himself after Bill Cosby, FolkeA[a–a[s sudden rise to fame and tragic end shocked and baffled his friends. The cause of his downward spiral remained a mystery until his once closest friend and confidant, deeply troubled by his death, reexamined the comedianA[a–a[s life to find the answers. Was it suicide as some speculated? Did Folke go insane or did he simply laugh himself to death? His friendA[a–a[s investigation leads him on a winding path of psychological twists and turns, stirring up ghosts and memories that haunt him terribly before even he will understand the truth.
