Man is the Only Bird That Carries His Own Cage
Synopsis
A cold world full of people whose heads have been replaced by a cage filled with a rubber balloon. They cross paths with each other in the streets of an immense city. All these individuals resemble each other and live in a uniform way. Some, in an act of madness or lucidity, try to take flight with their balloon, but each attempt systematically meets with failure. But one person nevertheless finds a way to escape.

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.
