Synopsis
We call them Boyi biyo, or ‘double lung’: they are the meat pushers. Every morning, they wait at the slaughterhouse for their trolley to be filled with large quarters of meat. Then they run through the city to their master butcher. Shilo is one of them. He runs and runs every day. Because Shilo also has a dream : to win the Bangui marathon.

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.
