Synopsis
April 2004. Coalmining in the Lorraine region ceases, causing the last mines operating in Moselle to be shut down. This film is the culmination of a poetic expression exploring the limits of perception of a reality. It is a ghostly vision used like a metaphor for the disappearance of these miners. A sensorial experience that invites us to contemplate a story that comes to an end.

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.
