Synopsis
A French soldier, frustrated that he cannot leave for the war, unable to prove his bravery and defend his homeland, sees himself responsible for the maintenance of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. By boredom, he begins to invent the lives, the hypothetical deaths of this obscure, repute person. Navigating between cynicism and tenderness, The Wild Imaginings of an Unknown Soldier gets us to pose an new look on the Great War and on its fighters: the Hairy.

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.
