The Recall of the Songbird
Synopsis
A woman crosses a forest by travelling inside her memories. By seeing again herself as a child with her father hunting, she sees again the terror of the gunshots and the urge to be accepted in spite of the fact that she is not a boy. For the first time, she also sees her father with different eyes by understanding his solitude and weakness. The Recall of the Songbird is a movie which speaks about the family, about the difficulty of growing up with the expectations and the disappointment of the disappointed expectations.

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.
