Synopsis
Women's faces extracted from American series decompose little by little. The video brings to light the mechanisms which bring to tears, theatrical tears, tears in box or, to quote a poet from Ancient Rome, lacrimae rerum, tears were poured in public. The music - Ne me quitte pas - interpreted by Nina Simone, is used as a highlighter of pathos.

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.
