New Skin
Synopsis
Today, many men and women pass through the doors of the municipal baths. Some do so out of necessity, for they have no shower where they live. Whereas others have one, but prefer to wash in a public place. Moments when bodies undergo different rituals, depending on one's gender, origins, or obsessions, from shaving to the spreading of cream all over one's body, to the reflection of one's image in a mirror.

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.
