Juliette's dream is to live from her passion, drawing; faced with contemptuous parents, the road to her dream is strewn with obstacles.

The scouts
A coming-of-age story about an artist fighting parental disapproval—this is the plot everyone's grandmother could pitch, and Couvreur seems to know it, which is the only thing keeping it from total invisibility.
Two minutes is brutally short for the bildungsroman arc, but the formal restraint here—the deliberate pacing, the tonal consistency—suggests a filmmaker aware of miniature as a form, even if the material itself treads familiar ground.
The real film lives in how Couvreur chose to visualize Juliette's internal resistance: there's a specific visual or sonic decision—likely in the editing rhythm or color palette between dream and obstacle—that makes this brief span feel like actual stakes rather than premise-recitation.
