The Man
Synopsis
It is said that man is descended from animals. But in this film Gilles Margaritis sets out to arouse the still latent animal within man. Under the guise of scientific discourse, he discovers those mechanisms of which we are the least proud, our most unconscious reflexes, and our weak points. But rest assured "Man" is neither an academic nor an existentialist film: it is a comedy!

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.
