Lalou (Anthony Bajon, excellent in the Boukherma brothers’ Teddy and soon to star in Athena by Romain Gavras) is a shepherd who lives in the mountains. He works with his friend Clara, who’s come to take care of the herd before he leaves for the army. The next day, Lalou goes to a remote hotel where he secretly meets up with Harmony, an android he’s madly in love with. From the directors of Italia, le feu, la cendre (also screening at this year’s FNC), a sci-fi short about youth and the search for self that, somewhere between love, sex and death, recalls the work of Bertrand Bonello and Asia Argento.
