Demons to Diamonds
Synopsis
In the cold business district of La Défense, where steel towers pierce a restless sky and CCTV watches every shadow, a wave of suicides expose the fractures of a crumbling society. Strangers move through the streets like ghosts, bound by the invisible threads of paranoia. In the eerie glow of a collapsing city, destruction may be the only chance for rebirth.
