Synopsis
On the island of Amorgos, summer. At the roadside, small monuments have been erected at the scene of a fatal accidentThese monuments are abandoned. The deceased stayed there: dead in transit, on a road, frozen forever. As if their soul, too, was still on the way, in pain, that it could not ask. An impossible right to be forgotten. As night falls, summer gives way to Lethe, the river of hell, whose dead must drink water to forget. This metamorphosis takes place through an animal figure: that of the cat, which has become ghostly and fantastic presence.

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.
