On Your Shoulders
Synopsis
Martin has a hard time coping with his younger brother Thomas being the favorite son of the family. Martin and Thomas both live with their father, a forest warden, in a house in the middle of the pines in the Lande region. Their father only has eyes for Thomas. One spring morning, as per usual, the two brothers set out go fishing together. On the lake, Martin murders his brother, as he intended to do, and sinks him in the river beneath a sack of rocks. After this drama and, deep in a lie, the teenager naively thinks he will win back his father's heart.

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.
