Synopsis
A lock keeper and his children live by a canal. Their lives are patterned by the rhythm of the barges that float through this landscape surrounded by trees, and whose sole link with the outside world seems to be the silent canal. But sometimes the water carries strange things on its current.

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.
