Synopsis
Some say that China is a fiction and it is indeed: The Middle Kingdom has always been and remains to this day the place of fantasies for the Western World. Wang Bing, Jia Zhang-Ke and Wang Xiaoshuai, the characters of this documentary, dare to do what those who preceded them had never tried before: search for reality through their movies. Using the work of three great directors from the same generation, those who came after the events of Tiananmen Square, this movie, which starts at the end and is edited like a puzzle, offers an exploration of what Chinese society is really like since the Beijing Spring.

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.
