Synopsis
Young Armenians are called up for mandatory military service and draw lots for their assignment. In a military base in Nagorno-Karabakh, on the border with Azerbaijan, the young conscripts train, smoke, sleep, eat, and almost seem to be waiting for the war to return. One day, one of them walks away and starts dreaming.

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.
