Mom's Swimming Pool
Synopsis
A woman has been living with apnea now for forty years. Forty years of walking the damp and noisy corridors of this pool from which she’s distanced herself without ever been able to leave it. Like someone who has had a limb amputated, she constantly senses the presence of the baby she never had.

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.
