Synopsis
Aurélien is blind and lives alone in the Landes forest. Since he can't do his housework, he hires Eneida, a youg Portuguese girl who doesn't speak French. Unable to communicate, the lonely man, embittered by his handicap, and the young immigrant display only hostility towards each other. Yet, in the silence of the wind and the ocean, they painfully tame their differences.

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.
