Lack of Evidence
Synopsis
For the inhabitants of Niger, to be twin can mean a blessing or a curse. The father of O is the head of the village, the wizard believes in the curse of the twins. One day, this wizard tried, during a ritual party, to kill his two sons: O managed to escape, but attended the murder of his brother. Having run away and having crossed his country, he managed, luckily, to get out of Nigeria and to exile himself in France. He asked for the asylum in this context, but his request was refused because he could not provide any evidence.

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.
