The Golden Tortoise
Synopsis
A couple lives happily in a humble, tumbledown house. One day, the man catches a tortoise with a golden shell in his nets. In exchange for its release the animal promises to make the fisherman's wishes come true. A tender and modern approach to this classic fable that illustrates humanity's unfortunate tendency toward greed.

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.
