The Eel
Synopsis
Matas returns to his neighborhood in Vilnius (Lithuania) after fleeing the war in Ukraine. He finds Kamilé, his wife, and the friends he left behind when he joined the conflict. Caught off by the resumption of life, he justifies his return by faking an injury to his leg. Deeply marked by the war and unable to confide in anyone, he sinks into this lie that will quickly eat away at him.

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.
