Synopsis
It's Martin's fourteenth birthday. Whether they like it or not, his parents leave him the house, watched over by his older brother Olivier, so he can throw a party. The party condenses the rites of passage from childhood to adolescence: a bunch of cheeky friends, girls who are already more wild or fearful, alcohol and the experience of its first effects, a latent conflict with the older brother, who is both adored and envied.

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.
