Chasing the Dragon
Synopsis
Thirty-five-year-old William would be an ideal father if he wasn't addicted to drugs. If he continues down this path, his wife Gabrielle and his son Tom, unable to cope with his repeated withdrawal crises and his lies, will leave him. One day as the family is out for a walk, bad encounters accumulate for Will, who tries by every means possible to score. The other is the strangest thing. A descent into hell begins.

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.
