The Tears of the Firefly
Synopsis
Lei does not know why she paints any more. One evening, an accident, her blood mingles with her ink. She takes back then her brushes. Her painting is illuminated, her body goes pale and loses weight from painting too painting.

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.
