In Memoriam
Synopsis
In his workshop, an old watchmaker tries to recreate a personal and loving memory by creating the artwork of his life. One of his old creations comes to life and watches him intently. It is a small fairground automaton. The old man is about to complete the piece he is working on when he is overcome with emotion. He dies. The automaton will itself then place the last element out of love for and in memory of its creator.

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.
