Synopsis
Benoît wants to give himself to a good cause by joining the Old Folks Without Christmas campaign. He must spend Christmas Eve with an old woman who lives alone. The operation’s organizer has been very clear: be kind, polite, efficient, but there’s no point getting too involved. Except that the old lady Benoît has been assigned is Béa.

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.
