Synopsis
The initiator of Senegalese folk music, in the 1970s Seydina Insa Wade was crowned one of the musical greats. He drew his inspiration from the deep roots of Senegalese folklore, the tales of grandmothers, but also from political and social life. He left for France in the 1980s, and performed in many concerts in jazz clubs and didn't return to Senegal for a long time. Today, he realizes that the new Senegalese generation doesn't know him and he decides to renew ties with his country and fellow Senegalese.

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.
