On the Celestial Side
Synopsis
Marcel Proust is confined by illness to his room. Celeste, her governess, takes care of him, writes at his dictation, glues the manuscripts, sews his book like a dress. Doctors want to heal him, friends want to see him, everyone wants to read his work. But he just wants to complete his work before death takes him away.

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.
