Synopsis
A group of seven boys and young men aged between 12 and 23 wait for the last train on a station platform. One of them, Sacha, gazes at the sky and wonders about the planets’ movements in the universe. Alex, the youngest of the group, organizes a demonstration on a human scale: each of the boys represents a planet that Alex positions to resemble the solar system’s rotation around the sun. After a few squabbles, an awkward and hypnotic choreography unfolds on the platform. The workings of this life-size machine are finally interrupted by the train’s arrival.

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.
