She's the Protagonist

The Protagonist, going by her first name, is presented to us in her natural environment: a jungle often sadly devoid of density. But today, she’s had enough!

Put on “mute” after having used up the speaking time allotted to the female* characters of a film, she runs away with her buddy Voice Over, starting out on a new journey. All in good fun.

La jeunesse refuse de dormir

It's one of those nights when everything can change. When you no longer know whether time is moving forward or retracting like a broken record.
