Synopsis
A man kidnaps a famous painter who has withdrawn from public life. As a ransom, he orders the painter to paint a work that the kidnapper will then sell to a gallery. While the painter is carrying out the order, neither he nor his kidnapper manage to keep everything hidden about themselves. Each tries to take advantage of the other's weaknesses, while being observed by a third character.

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.
