For the Empire
Synopsis
A deserted metallic universe built among abandoned urban places. The experience of unraveled temporality in a world preoccuped with the acceleration of time. The experience of tiring labor serving a society where all is globalized and concerned with security. The solitude of a night watchman, the scattered words of a splintered life.

Tender Age, by Julien Gaspar-Oliveri
Sixteen-year-old Diane exists exclusively through her mother's gaze. But this intensely close bond between Diane and her mother, Sophie, is becoming increasingly problematic for the teenager. At high school, she would like to be loved like she is at home and expresses it in an awkward way like when she exchanges a favor for a look, in the toilets. A loudmouth, provocative, and seeking attention, Diane tries to stand apart from her mother and wishes, during a weekend, to live like an adult.
