Synopsis
Sunday afternoon is Scrabble day for an elderly couple. The sunny scene opens with the old man's hateful inner monologue as he is forced to take part for the umpteenth time in a ritual he loathes. His wife meticulously sets up the game, ignoring his exasperation. But the game suddenly intensifies when the old man realises that the words being played are
becoming reality.

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.
