Jean-François Stévenin - Simple Men
Synopsis
In a restaurant in Paris, surrounded by friends, Jean-François Stévenin tells and tells himself: the cinema, Truffaut, Depardieu, Jonnhy, his own films, his drunkenness. And especially his meeting with Lucette Destouches, widow of Louis-Ferdinand Céline , their friendship, the film project that never happened and which perhaps that day, in this restaurant, by the power and the humor of the story, by Stévenin's habit of always having on him a tiny camera, in a way, will finally come true.

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.
