La Lettre du Caire
Synopsis
Victor Marchand, a rich widower, is murdered in his country home, his skull shattered by a bowling ball. Captain Brun, a disillusioned police officer in charge of the investigation, quickly finds himself dealing with three suspects: the steward, cook and butler. It transpires that all three have close ties with the victim’s family and are implicated in his inheritance. The investigation will reveal a skilfully and patiently organised act of revenge.

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.
