Synopsis
The film charts the life and spiritual odyssey of one of the great modern painters purely through use of his paintings. Vincent Van Gogh’s genius and significance are recognised today, but in his own time he had to struggle terribly, in poverty and to almost universal indifference, in his attempts to render his glimpses of the absolute through his paintings.

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.
