Desire of Highway
Synopsis
One summer night, I encounter a stranger at a highway rest stop. From a banal discussion, an awkward and stereotypical pick-up, and controlled by the video surveillance cameras, the subtle space for more intimate words will slowly be created between us. An autofictional tale of wandering on desire in a place without desire.

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.
