A group high school students in a theater elective find themselves with a substitute teacher for a month. As they recite Shakespeare while maintaining their distance, the teacher abruptly interrupts the rehearsal. In the midst of an age where people often advance masked, with eyes either too elevated or heads too lowered, the question of intimacy becomes prominent for them.

DIRECTOR’s BIOGRAPHY
Born in Antibes, Julien Gaspar-Oliveri trained as an actor at the Conservatoire National Supérieur d’Art Dramatique in Paris. His theatre credits include work with Dominique Czapski, Didier Bezace and Jean Bellorini. He has directed Chekhov and several plays by Jean-Luc Lagarce at the Théâtre Antibéa, where he is an associate artist. He made his film debut with ‘Loin de Benjamin’, his first short film. He then directed ‘Passe’, with Laure Calamy, followed by ‘Villeperdue’, a medium-length film starring Carole Franck, Lucie Debay and Benjamin Siksou. The film was well received by critics and released in cinemas. It won the Jury Prize and the Audience Prize at the Namur Film Festival. In ‘L’Âge Tendre’, he portrays a lost teenager, played by Noée Abita. He then set about making a documentary about the 2020 municipal elections. Currently being edited, the film traces the campaign of the ecologist candidate for mayor of Paris. Keen to try new things, Julien then adapted a short film for a France 2 series on new heroines, with Pauline Lorillard in the title role. He also teaches theatre and film at the Cours Florent. Continuing his exploration of adolescence and the emotional catalyst that is acting, he is currently developing a series project on the theatre Bac. He is currently writing his first feature film, on the subject of incest. Co-written with Claudia Bottino, her collaborator on the writing of ‘L’Âge tendre’, the project has won the CNC’s writing grant.
