Pests (2025): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2025, Pests is a history film directed by Stéphane Petit, running about 84 minutes.

What it’s about. The curious events that form the show have occurred on several occasions throughout history. The main cause being that the gods periodically amuse themselves by branding humanity with the red-hot iron of its insignificance. If, in the beginning, the gods had stopped bickering, if Rome had foreseen its downfall, everything would have been turned upside down. The vagaries of fate and the hazardous twists and turns would have been inevitably altered. We don't really know anymore, that's for sure. We, the playthings of history, review the great events of humanity. The Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the 18th, and 19th centuries and beyond... We take a look back at defining moments and try to understand what the hell is going on! Interpretations may overlap, but there is only one history: the true one, and in particular this one.
