Synopsis
A woman is going to become a grandmother. Nothing has changed in her daily life, and yet... Like every week, this well-known actress walks to her English class. But on the way, after many unexpected meetings, she realizes just how much the imminent birth of her child's child affects her. These thoughts are engraved in her mind, in every facet of her life. As the days pass, and as she walks, she waits and prepares herself, allowing her life to be turned upside down. And then the phone rings, announcing the birth, earlier than expected, of this child who is already a part of her life.

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.
