Les Larmes d'Artémis

Diane was raised in a decadent world. Grown by a police-ruled government, she's become a blind soldier of her country, until the day she was ordered to go too far. Having lost her faith in her country's valors and her governement, she lost control of herself. After a long time of depression, she decided to fight back and to discover why her superiors gave her the order that made it all happen. The film is about her personal quest for redemption. In the end, she'll have to accept her own responsibility for what she did, since the official pardon from the state will not wash the stain of her sins.

A strong woman of fierce will and a natural leader, she almost raised to the top of her country's secret services. Faithful to the president, she hates the traitors that plot his fall. She feels responsible for the image of women in society, and is very concerned to be perfect and to push all women to their best. She's more an intellectual person than an action woman, but her energy allows her to compensate her physical fragility.

Secret services agents, he's specialized in cryptography and manipulation of information. He's an efficient man, but more fit for office work than field action. He has this light humor that makes him both seductive and annoying.

Strong and introverted, he's been raised like Diane, in the values of the military. He's a perfect soldier, if you except that the hollowness of his personal life is a weakness. Efficient and ruthless, he's an accomplished killer.

Keeran is the secret services' director. Very well informed, he controls the numerous networks of information, officials or not, that give a man the power to twist the world to his own will. He is one of the men who unofficially fight the current president's policies.

One of the strong men of the military, he has reached a key position in the army, and has a relative autonomy of action that makes him very dangerous. War hero, he fought the northlings with all his heart and lost too many friends on the battlefield and in bombings to admit a possible peace with his former enemies. Agressive and dominative, he's used to command and doesn't like to bargain. He has a tendancy to underestimate women in general, especially in the army and the secret services.

He's the man who accept or refuse new agents in the secret services. He evaluates the files and interrogates candidates. he may look brutal and mean, but he's a subtle man, and his apparent agressiveness is just a working tool.

A brave man who risks his life everyday to help his people. Father of a 3 years old girl, he goes regurarly in enemy territory to help defectors that may want to go south.

Marcus Dario's wife is a strong mother, but she lives in constant fear since her husband may die during every mission.

The one innocent victim of an invisible war.

Northern scientist, she worked for the elaboration of the deadly virus that cause the millions of deaths in the south. War has destroyed her life, too, and she seeked asylum in the south, but fate destined her to the dark prison of Lazura. She's been imprisoned without any hope of trial.

Training officer of the police's special forces, he applies his own recrutement policy, flirting with illegality. Diane was his first woman student. He was doubtful about her capacities but was finally convinced, and even proud of her successes.

Simple cook in an feeding center, he has secret arrangements with intelligence agents, to get a bit more money at the end of the month.

The only friend of Diane, she was one of the first women to join the ARTEMIS project in the police's special forces.

A powerful woman, responsible to train the candidates for the ARTEMIS project, she's a senior police officer. She has her own views of the job and acts as a mentor for many young women who lack the real vision of the work.

A social agent of the secret services, his job is to help northern defectors to adapt to their new life. Paranoid and weak, he fears as much his own police than bombings and viruses.

A first choice hired man of General Mirien's, he's used to dirty works. Almost sadistic, he enjoys hurting and killing people, and is very pleased to have to protection of the secret services to do so.

An seasoned officer of the military, he commands a surveillance base in the no man's land between north and south. He's an old accointance of Catherine Stagliano's and the two of them share a mutual trust.

An experienced statesman, he's one of the few men who took the responsibility of the state after the viral attack that destroyed the chain of command in their country. He's been fighting the primal fear reactions and always tried to protect the country for the foreigners reactions to the nuclear counter-attack on the north. Since then, he's been trying to bring democraty back to life, and is perfectly aware that men like Albric Keeran will do all they can to stop him and to maintain their paranoid policy.

The highest ranking officer of the state is an ally of the president. He detains the second key necessary to use nuclear force.

Defender of a strong policy, he plays moderate but actually plots to get rid of the president before he opens the frontiers of the country.
