Synopsis
François Truffat sent Sarah a letter the week she was born. He arranged to meet her on her thirteenth birthday to take her to the cinema. He was unable to keep that promise... But this film isn't the tale of a missed appointment ! It's the tale of two teenagers who discover one another through the cinema and their parent's love.

Tender Age, by Julien Gaspar-Oliveri
Sixteen-year-old Diane exists exclusively through her mother's gaze. But this intensely close bond between Diane and her mother, Sophie, is becoming increasingly problematic for the teenager. At high school, she would like to be loved like she is at home and expresses it in an awkward way like when she exchanges a favor for a look, in the toilets. A loudmouth, provocative, and seeking attention, Diane tries to stand apart from her mother and wishes, during a weekend, to live like an adult.
