The final preparations are under way for the European Film Market (running from 13-19 February), unspooling within the 75th Berlinale, for the international sales department of French firm Les Films du Losange, which is also keeping an eye on upcoming festival deadlines.

Every evening, just like Shéhérazade, she dreams up a story for him, a metaphorical tale recounting almost a century of solitude for China. At the end of her stories, she must make a choice: return to the real world or remain alone with this bionic being, for whom she’s beginning to develop real feelings…
