Synopsis
Antoine is five years old. Lucie, his older sister, has gone away. At least that's what his parents have told him. Now there is only his mother at home. All joy seems to have abandoned her. As to his father, he comes to see them now and then, but he never stays the night. So, left to his thoughts and memories, Antoine waits for Lucie, persuaded that he possesses the magical formula that will make her come back: a bit of luck, three oranges, and three elevators.

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.
