The North Room
Synopsis
In a big upper-class manor house with dark and disturbing hidden recesses, a countess whose husband is away on a journey, prepares her children, in the North Room, to do a small concert in anticipation of his return. She puts Martin, aged eight, on the double bass, and Juliette, aged twelve, on the violin. Juliette struggles and becomes fascinated by the portrait of a girl in a big oval painting.

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.
