A Grasshoupper in the Garden
Synopsis
Sixteen-year-old Solène is going crazy spending her summer vacation in a deadly dull, small regional burg sweltering in the sun. When Antoine arrives on the scene, revving his motorcycle and flexing his forty-year-old muscles inside his leather jacket, it's only natural that Solène takes action.

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.
