Lost in Names
Synopsis
It's settled. I'm changing my name. The one that I've used for decades was imposed upon me by French authorities; it links me to nothing and nobody and I've never managed to get used to it. So, during this film, I launch the official name change procedure. But how does one go about finding a name when the passing down from parent to child has been broken and when one has three fathers and two nationalities?

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.
