Synopsis

When Dany, a rich heir making up for his existential emptiness by the unbridled consumption of Magic'Powder - a drug with psychedelic and annihilating effects - meets Karl Marx by chance when going through withdrawal, the latter enjoins him to destroy capitalism in order to save the world of men. For better or for worse, Dany yields to his request and turns into a superhero. But, without him noticing, the mission gets out of control and soon escapes him.

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.
