Uberts
Synopsis
Uberts is a mentally disabled man. His mother has just died and his cousin Louis has been given the responsability of accompanying him back to the clinic. The journey takes several days and, at Uberts' request, they take advantage of it to go to the seaside. Louis discovers that Uberts wants to end his life. During their trip, the two men will go through various stages, passing from a kind of lack of understanding to a mutual tenderness. Nevertheless, the journey reaches its end in Uberts' suicide.

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.
