Modern Troglodytes
Synopsis
The Australian outback remains the last refuge of men who refuse to become caught up in the restrictions of society. They have found a land where they can remain free men. Some of them realise their youthful dreams through prospecting for gold. Others accept life in the blazing heat of the bush so they can search for opals, the precious stone that fascinates them. To protect themselves from the intolerable heat, that in summer can reach 50° and 60°, they have dug deep into the hillsides. So they emerge from working in the mines to then burrow into another hole, where they have made their troglodyte homes.

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.
