Synopsis
Nicolas lives with his father and works in a remote gas station. Between the solitude of his work that he shares with a colleague, the memory of his defunct mother, and his deeply depressed father, Nicolas watches the days go by one after the other, until the day he will perhaps find the strength to change the direction of his life.

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.
