Synopsis
Family and friends have gathered to accompany the body of their loved one to its final resting place. Set to the rhythm of an unconventional brass band, the funeral procession passes ponies and hunters, through fields, woods, vineyards, and over hillsides through the freezing rain, snow, and fog. Their final destination is far away, right at the top of a hill that reaches up to heaven.

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.
