From dystopian dramas to nihilistic animated shorts and deeply personal unscripted shorts, this block of films explores what happens when what you want, say, believe, or do comes into conflict with the reality of the events that are unfolding. The subjects in these eight shorts manage to hold onto some hope in harrowing and complicated circumstances.

Fred tells the life fragments of a survivalist.


Between a desired solitude and the constraints of everyday life, what could hinder his seemingly quiet life?


Fred lives alone, cut off from the world. He has chosen an autonomous existence, in the spirit of survivalism, a simple life governed by precise gestures and strict discipline.


His daily routine is methodical: the alarm rings, he gets up, switches on the light, makes his coffee, tends his garden, and checks on his equipment.
