The Anvil
Synopsis
A little boy, on the evening of his tenth birthday, receives an anvil from his parents and never parts from it. This cumbersome present makes his life particularly difficult and prevents him doing what he wants too, including approaching the one that he loves. But we are in a tale. And in a tale, everybody is entitled to a second chance.

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.
