L'Île des bienheureux

Mikaël, twenty years, visits his sick grandfather in the countryside. The stay does not enthuse him. His mother obliged him to come thinking that he would not have another chance to see him. When he discovers the old man, he notices that he kept all his urge to live. While, in the lounge, his mother and his two aunts quarrel to know in which old people's home to intern him, the grandfather takes advantage of his grandson to run away with him, in search of Mathilde, a youth love

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.
