Synopsis
By hook or by crook, Fatia moves toward the ring. She knocks down her adversary, feints, bleeds and persists. Fatia doesn't speak about her pain, especially not about the pain of losing her father when she was 10. Her mother entered her into a boxing tournament in Sétif, Algeria, where her father is buried. It's an opportunity to speak to her daughter about her past and to free her.

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.
