Synopsis
In 1932 Luis Buñuel went to film one of the poorest regions of Spain, Las Hurdes, 100 kms from Salamanca. In their mountain isolation, the villagers live in total poverty, barely able to survive. Famine, sickness and death are the daily realities of these people left entirely to their own resources.

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.
