Synopsis
1917, in the trenches. Death seems the only outcome possible to the ridiculous orders given by a sergeant driven by racist egocentrism full of hate. A universal language will unite two enemy soldiers who were ready to kill each other just a few moments before. A murder will put an end to this burgeoning friendship and the horror of war will destroy fragile hope.

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.
