The Way We Have Chosen
Synopsis
A sheet of crumpled paper is tossed into a labyrinthine city made up of typography. The ball tries to make its way through this universe full of shifting paper that moves about like a compact crowd. Hands indicate directions, or block the ball’s way, forcing it to stick to the right path. But the ball’s unique, ragged appearance hides a secret: its individuality.

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.
