Halves Through Night
Synopsis
Barzakh is a term of Perisan origin to name a transitional space between the living and the dead. It designates the very distance, or time, that both separates and comes between these two worlds. Halves Through Night explores this veiled space in which beings are suspended, disembodied from the real, and no longer belong to any place.

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.
