Fer et verre
Synopsis
A portrait of the Senegalese artist Germaine Anta Gaye, who combines the strength and fragility of materials to create contemporary works in the purest Suwer tradition. Mixing all sorts of techniques, she sculpts metals, cuts, engraves and paints on glass, frames enamels and stained glass in her Fer et Verre (Iron and Glass) workshop. She tries to reconcile her passion for art and her faith in the Muslim religion in which she says she finds the basis of her equilibrium.

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.
