Synopsis
Fred, an unemployed graduate like many young Nigerians, starts a new job as a taximan. Akin, meanwhile, taxes commercial vehicles for the National Transport Union. Both of them move about in the rich urban landscape of Ibadan, where Alain Kassanda's camera choreographs the multiplicity of perspectives and the perpetual balance of power at play.

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.
