Five frames, five stories of students on their campus. They audition actors, smoke near the residences or promote their new start-up. Some of them get prepared before the party, others sit for a last talk once the party is over. They all have in common to feel the raise of an invisible but sensible hindrance that questions both their projects and their aspirations. Yet they should feel optimistic, because they are still young, with a life before them, and still alive.





Music: Clément Mennesson and Caleb Rau
Editing: Michael Cohen
