Many girls share the experience as Solène: having an enemy visiting <strong>every month </strong>for a few days. This enemy of Solene, is Alex. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Solene is pursuing the championship of competition of Rhythmic Gymnastics (GR), but Alex is there distracting her trainings, her feelings, and sometimes even her love life. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Solene never understands the existence of Alex, just like girls don't understand the existence of this monthly enemy. But thought out this film, Solene finally realizes the importance of Alex being there every month for her. And Xiao, as the creator of this project, would like to see the audience have a different idea on their own "Alex" after watching this film.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong><em>Tu es en avance! </em></strong>(English title: You're Early) is going to be a fiction short film of 15 minutes. In this fantasy comedy, you will see Solene's struggle with her monthly enemy, Alex, as she is preparing herself for the championship of GR.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
For the first time in a fiction film, the period of a girl will be represented by <strong>a real person </strong>(in this film, Alex), who will come to visit her owner (in this film, Solene) every month, to live with her, speak to her, annoy her, disturb her, while at some point influence her and encourage her. While Solene is having a stomachache, it is Alex who is punching her in the stomach; Solene suddenly wants a bar of chocolate, it is Alex who keeps persuading her to buy one; Solene can't help logging on Facebook, it is Alex who wispers to her: <em>don't you wanna check up the relationship status of your ex?</em></p>

We hope to make it a good comedy. For that, the short film asks for a quick rhythm of dialogue and mise-en-scene. The acting will be a bit exaggerated. As for image, it will be bright and colorful. (Reference as follows from the film <em>Stick it </em>of Jessica Bendinger)</p>

For the scenes of training and competition, we will use slow-motion and multi-angle camera to boost the tension and the visual effect. A lot of foley will be applied to enforce the movement of the performance of rhythmic gymnastics. </p>
