Synopsis
Burning Cars tells of a paradox. New Caledonia is a mermaid dazzling with its lagoon-blue charms. But as we travel through this French Pacific island, an underlying tension is revealed in this exotic paradise. Historical wounds, tough love with France, an island microcosm, and a thorny juxtaposition of societies with opposing values. The film explores a place, a universe. A tale of travel and encounters.

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.
