Synopsis
Édouard, employed at a funeral home, leads a peaceful and routine life: work, home, dinner cooked by his wife, and reading a bedtime story to his daughter. One evening unlike the others, his daughter says a strange prayer. She predicts the death of one of the members of the family the following day. She repeats the same refrain over several nights. Until the day the dreaded event happens and she announces the death of her father.

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.
