Synopsis
In a comfortable apartment, evidence of the social success of its inhabitants, a seventy-year-old man begins to doze off over a good book when a strange noise awakens his wife sleeping beside him. Urged on by his wife, the man explores their large living room where he ends up scaring himself. Reassured, and despite having found nothing suspicious, he complies to his wife request and returns one more time out onto the terrace. There he gazes contemplatively at nighttime city life.

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.
