Canton the Chinese
Synopsis
Canton, megalopolis of eight million inhabitants. A city in perpetual reconstruction. An unchained city where the tracks of past disappear under the concrete and the macadam, where the chaos governs the organization of time and of the space. A city which embodies a system which is not one any more .

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.
