Dead a Thousand Times
Synopsis
Mathias is a young, somber and withdrawn man, whose melancholy and anxieties prevent from living a full life. He's barely surviving and no longer knows how to talk to the woman he loves and makes a stranger believe that, like her, he's suffering from a serious illness. He no longer knows how to live because he doesn't yet know that life has more imagination than he does. Because he doesn't yet know that we can die several times over - to be reborn again.

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.
