1388 - Undo
Synopsis
A static shot on a desert landscape, wide open, a salt lake in the South of Tehran. A static shot on a corridor, closed, a basement in the North of Tehran. Between the corridor and us, little by little a cage forms, then the cage becomes cubic, completely opaque. Then we only see the keyhole allowing the light to pass which a hand comes to darken. The cube is definitively closed. Again the desert. The man holds( a chain in his hand, then he pulls the cube as to cross the plan in its width. Arriving at half way, the cube disappears in an invisible hole from our point of view, a breakaway through the bottom. The man leaves alone, the desert landscape seems again blank from everything, but it is full.

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.
