Synopsis
The movie takes place in India, in the state of Tamil Nadu. The objective is to help the spectator to integrate the Indian society, to understand the social, religious and political problems, through the intouchabilité. Thanks to the key character of the movie, Jc Anthony, and from the points of view from different origins, we shall understand that what is the system of castes and intouchables. We follow the one that we name Appa (dad in Tamil) through his memories, his life, his hopes. He will tell us how he grew as untouchable, how his little boy's vision of an unfair world in fed his man's dream.

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.
