Synopsis
Kenji is eight years old when his parents are murdered right before his eyes. We find him twelve years later, still fleeing oppression and misery along with a group of ten other people. They are on their way to Melilla, the Spanish enclave in Northern Morocco. Multiple trajectories, shattered destinies, but always driven by the same hope, no matter the cost, to break through the barbed wire of Europe and to find freedom.

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.
