Ma Madeleine de Nice
Synopsis
La Madeleine is a working class neighborhood west of Nice. Sami Lorentz left it twenty years ago. He returns today to find those he knew in the past, those who shared his mother's final years: cafe-owners. Far from the luxury retirement enclaves of the Côte d’Azur, Scoffier, Tonin, Poupon, and Marinette, elderly workers, live unsure of the future of their family businesses. A return home that looks at the question of roots, connections, and handing down knowledge. A family film shot within the family.

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.
