Synopsis
The filmmaker's grandmother has become a mystery ever since she lost her memory. Because of a family secret, merely evoking her life causes bodies to stiffen. With a process similar to engraving, this animation film borrows from the archaeology of the gesture, which consists of hollowing out, in order to reveal, through buried memories, a Creole identity.

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.
