I'll Be Right Back
Synopsis
On a theatre stage, the childish and unrestrained "self" plays with the social "self", projected on to a screen. The social self is confronted with a forgotten and disturbing image of himself. Continuing his own story, the childish "self" enters the screen and takes the audience with him. At the end, the man, rejected by the screen, finds himself back with illusions: both social and romantic illusions.

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.
