Synopsis
Matthieu lives in the countryside beside a river and spends the summer alone with his parents. Fifteen years old, he dreams about adventure and about meetings. Little by little, he becomes foreign to life of the household: he deceives his boredom by defying prohibitions and by taking refuge in a world where he confronts his childrhood games and his desire to grow-up. His heart begins to beat when the reality catches him uo or when his imagination plays tricks on him.

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.
