Synopsis
In the warmth of the holiday home, four years old Auguste feels abandoned by his mother and turns his attention to the black hen. He goes to the henhouse every morning, as early as possible, to be the first to pick up the egg. But one day, the nest remains desperately empty.

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.
