Transvestites Also Cry
Synopsis
In a narrow alley near Place de Clichy in Paris, two shabby hotels, similar to many others in the neighborhood, stand opposite each other. Their anonymous facades hide the marginal lives of several Ecuadorian transsexuals who work as prostitutes in the Bois de Boulogne. Romina and Mujeron are part of this group. Their paths oscillate between optimism and fatalism, carefreeness and suffering, guilt and pride, joyful complicity and lonely distress.

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.
