Synopsis
At night, workers dig the sand in a pit. At dawn, around them, the immense towers of a futuristic city raise themselves, crossed by little human activities. Gradually details appear, stones get loose, the sand flows, grounds disintegrate. Fragile on its bases, the city seems in a paradoxical time of destruction and construction, a future ruin called to dissolve and to return to a mineral state.

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.
