Synopsis
The Clown tells the story of an aging clown who must say farewell to the character he plays because he can no longer find an audience. His feelings of sadness and bewilderment are etched on his face. Confronting another version of himself, he engages in conversation with a puppet, sharing his innermost thoughts. Gradually their roles are reversed, as the clown becomes a man once again while the puppet takes on the face and the role of the clown.

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.
