Synopsis
For some years now, thousands of refugees arrive in Calais in the hope of getting across to England. Some of them, discouraged by the danger of the journey across the Channel or finally preferring to remain where they are, have chosen to stay in Calais. Cinq exils et quelques autres is their story. Through the tales they tell us, from their decision to leave their homelands to temporarily or definitively settling in Calais, situations arise that lead to exile, as do the means by which it is made possible, the hopes it gives rise to, but above all the conditions in which it is experienced here.

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.
