Synopsis
Erika is a serious young woman living in the working-class neighborhood of La Rivière des Galets on Réunion Island. Despite her tertiary qualifications, she goes from one cash-in-hand job to another, never really feeling fulfilled. Her friend Ludo is quite the opposite, just taking life as it comes. One day at their local market, Erika witnesses an unlikely encounter between her friend and a girl from France called Sarah. As Ludo and Sarah get to know each other, Erika sets off to work in France, where her memories, dreams, and desires become infused with a Parisian melancholy.

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.
