The Tall Guy
Synopsis
In spite of himself, a three-meter-tall German giant is forced by the Imperial Prussian Army to serve as a scarecrow on the Western Front in order to psychologically demoralize the enemy. On the battlefield, his encounter with a dying French soldier, who is also a conjurer, makes him think about his past, his lost illusions, and his misadventures within Prussian militarism. This encounter brings him a new awareness and a new hope. The beginning of a beautiful friendship in these uncertain times.

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.
