Histoire naturelle
Synopsis
An anonymous woman walks through the night. A taxi waits. The woman takes the taxi then vanishes without paying. She leaves a bag, the instrument and motive for her subterfuge. Its contents, that she finds to heavy to carry, are burdened with an additional weight for the taxi driver. It's the weight of his own life that he will carry to the end of the night to reach his truth.

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.
