Synopsis
Every five years, French army pharmacies distribute to all the pharmacies in France tablets of Potassium chloride, a vital remedy in case of a nuclear mishap. The hierarchy of the distribution channel calls for supplying first women and children. The others can patiently wait, terrified, or they can place a bid, pay the highest price. Because in the middle of a nuclear panic, everything is allowed.

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.
