Synopsis
During a work trip, Philippe, thirtyish, is obliged to wait several hours to take a train to Lyon, where he hasn’t set foot for many years. He takes advantage of this nocturnal wait to try to find Hélène, a young woman with whom he was secretly in love when at high school. He discovers that she is still living in the region; what’s more, she invites him over to her place that very evening. Philippe is overcome by the speed with which it seems a nostalgic dream might at last come true.

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.
