Black Flowers
Synopsis
Baptiste Bessette went to Hiroshima to question the city about the shadows of its past and the cogs of its future. A vital lead: the ginkgo biloba, this prehistoric tree about which we say that it is the only one to have survived the disaster and its leaves remind us of a butterfly.

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.
