Synopsis
If he were a woman, he'd say: "Not tonight, I've got a headache." But nature having made him a male, Didier tries to impose a way of being a man by other means than what he's got in his pants. The challenge turns out to be difficult to take up: between a girlfriend who won't tolerate any bedroom weakness and a macho buddy who can't comprehend that a man would flail about, Didier is violently shaken in his masculine identity.

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.
