Self to Self
Synopsis
A woman sits at a table after her guests have left. Looking at their empty glasses and dirty plates, she adopts the point of view of each of them, one by one, exploring the distance that separates her from others (or perhaps ties them together), touching on the mystery of the recognition of otherness.

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.
