The documentary shows Carle – breaking his iPhone with a new French-made Tefal saucepan, while his girlfriend shouts: “Are you crazy? Those are new pans!” Carle said his aim was to “save the French economy.” He said the experiment was part serious and part fun. He even asked a French language expert to check if he should keep using the word “cool” and other English words – the expert told him swap it for the nearest French alternative: “chouette.” When he discovered that France makes no refrigerators or televisions, but makes airplane seats and windmills, he sighed and said: “Great. Nothing that will fit into my apartment.”
