The Cock and the Swallow
Synopsis
From fragments of everyday life, a song, the envy and the questions, this film proposes a poetic variation around two symbolic birds of the district, the cock and the swallow. A film at childs level which speaks of leaving or of staying, of absurd and reality.

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.
