Synopsis
Hèk returns to Laos after thirty five years of exile in France. Reunions with his family are marked by the absence of his dead father.
The visit takes an adventurous form when, at the request of their mother, Hèk and his found brother, Hey, undertake to offer to their father a posthumous journey in tuk tuk up to his home town, up the mountains, in the North of the country.
At the term of this journey of pure whim, true mourning and healed wounds from the separation are accomplished.

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.
