Irked Magazine proudly presents Mathieu Labaye’s remarkable short-movie “Orgesticulanismus”—a movie that’s difficult to pronounce, but impossible to forget. This is an extraordinary, poignant tribute to his father, Benoît Labaye, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 29 years old. Benoît Labaye had been confined to a wheelchair since age 40 and died at 55 years old on April 22, 2006, as a result of pneumonia.
