Ooh La La Les Legumes was shot in Dijon, France in 1978 while the artists were students. The film traces a journey through a typical small European town as the artists appear and disappear, filming each other visiting the market, a cafe, the botanical garden, a graveyard, the railway station and finally the abattoir.
