Synopsis

As part of the Year of Algeria celebrations, filmmakers look for North African actors. The casting choice includes a number of actors fresh out of Parisian drama schools. Their profession has already taught them to focus on their body types and own cultures, although as individuals, each has his own story. A very French subject!

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.
