Synopsis
Despite his burly physique, Jason is a shy adolescent. During a class outing to the swimming pool, he is mocked by one of his classmates, who compares him to a sumo wrestler. Enraged, Jason grabs the young man and tries to drown him. The attack is violent, the punishment is announced: three days suspension. Alone at home, Jason copes with boredom and little by little learns about the Rikishis, these Japanese sportsmen considered the equal of gods. He immediately identifies with them. The journey begins.

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.
