Acting
Set during the final ten minutes before an eighteenth birthday, the film follows a young protagonist on the threshold between childhood and adulthood. Through poetic monologues and symbolic ritual, it explores the fear, loss, and quiet transformation that accompany coming of age. Blending introspection with elements of symbolic horror, the film treats growing up not as a celebration, but as a rite of passage, culminating in a final return to childhood memory as midnight arrives.
A dog enters a life almost by chance… and quietly becomes everything. Through four moments, this short film tells the story of a bond that feels simple — but means everything. This is not just a story about a dog. It’s a story about time… love… and letting go. BLESS is a short film written and directed by Yann Mazieres, starring Ulysse — a dog actor whose presence carries the entire story. “For you, it was part of your life. For him, it was all of it.”
