Synopsis
Alberto is forty years old. He's always lived with his mother in a building complex dating from the 1980s. He works as a watchman there and only goes out to walk his dog, Lassie. One day, a circus pitches its tents nearby, upsetting Alberto's daily life and stimulating his repressed desire for independence and freedom.

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.
