Synopsis
A spectator, a string puppet, applauds the magic tricks of the Femme Papillon, another string puppet with whom he’s in love. His clapping is so forceful that it snaps his strings. Suddenly free, he runs to the Femme Papillon, in the hope of winning her love by freeing her from her destiny.

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.
