One Aloe, One Ficus, One Avocado and Six Dracaenas
Synopsis
What to take, what to leave? How important are physical things when you're trying to save your life? Packages from Ukraine, filled with everything and nothing, wait patiently under a bridge to be found, while a voice conjures up memories of frivolous and precious objects, seemingly sending Kyiv a heart-rending farewell letter.

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.
