Synopsis
On a Japanese mountainside, Sansei conducts his annual counting of pebbles. A little further down, hidden in a bush, Shibagaki waits with a pebble in his hand for a human to pass by. It won't be long before the two spirits meet. Meanwhile, two Kabuki actors are on stage playing out the same story.

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.
