Et la vie continue
Synopsis
Through the testimony of people who have undertaken to look after their elderly parents, this film attempts to show how offspring experience ageing and their parents’ physical and psychic dependency, and how this dependency affects family relations. It takes a look at the support that care-givers of Alzheimer’s sufferers may find in talk groups. The film also looks at the psychological repercussions for care-givers who look after their parents until their death.

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.
