The story of starmania
starmania takes place in Monopolis, capital of the West. The city and its inhabitants are plagued by the terrible Dark Stars and their leader, Johnny Rockfort, himself subject to the terrible Sadia. For his part, the whimsical billionaire Zéro Janvier nourishes the hopes, from his golden tower, of establishing an authoritarian and racist regime over the West and Monopolis. At the bottom of this tower, Marie-Jeanne serves coffees at the Underground Café and dreams of a better world by following the news bulletins of Roger Roger, who officiates on the Télé-Capitale channel.
The star host of this channel is Cristal: she presents the program starmania, which propels young talents into “one-night stands”. A title dreamed up by Ziggy, a young homosexual record store owner who makes Marie-Jeanne’s head spin. The show, which takes place in 1978, depicts the love stories and manipulations of these characters.
