Le Purgatoire
Synopsis
There is a place that, better than anyone, mimics the human condition. Not a story, but rather elements: an evening, a dawn, bodies and voices, elements of memory, of births, of ghosts: some listen to others. For two thousand years, Judeo-Christian civilization has thought of itself from the numbers 2 and 3. This enigmatic accounting is indeed poetic.

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.
