Synopsis
Rolex le Portugais tried things out in Burkina Faso with no success. Here is back again in Abidjian to earn lots of money. With his friends, aged between fifteen and twenty-five, he makes ends meet through Internet scams, or by scoring some change from white women searching for love or sensations, which they then fritter away in drink or in clubs. The protagonists belong to a young generation going through transformation and disorientated by years of civil war, who intend to do nothing less than collect the colonial debt.

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.
