Synopsis
Mathematics - this word sets off storms, revives ancient quarrels and gives rise to sweet nostalgia. And it's still going on. Fifteen-year-old Timothy is the living proof. However, if he doesn't want to be excluded from the school system, he's got to overcome his mental block. For the first time, Aurélie, a mathematician studying for her doctorate, is confronted by the difficulties and the solitude some people face when coping with the universe of mathematics.

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.
