Inoubliable Annabelle
Synopsis
This documentary film directed by Céline and Joseph Courtecuisse with the collaboration of Sylvie Douchet, based on their personal archive images and interviews, evokes their extraordinary story with their German Shepherd dog Annabelle, who suffers from a degenerative myelopathy that started affecting Annabelle when she was eight. It is a genetic disease that causes progressive paralysis of the body without physical pain. Some masters would have euthanized her, but Céline and Joseph chose to fit Annabelle with a prothesis and to accompany her to the end of her life with dignity.

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.
