The Genie in the Bottle
Synopsis
Six-year-old Alaia is bored on the beach. She'd like an ice cream, but her father wants to finish his nap first. So he suggests making a sandcastle. She walks away with a shovel and starts digging a hole. She grumbles, digging deeper and deeper. Suddenly, she hits a hard, hollow object.

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.
