La Tour du monce
Synopsis
Alice Diop returns to the council estate where she grew up, la Rose-des-Vents, to paint a portrait of the inhabitants of her old building. Outpourings in the intimacy of apartments, the stairwell where different cultures meet, and the outside areas, veritable playgrounds, together form the rich heritage of this neighbourhood. A counterpoint to the usual media coverage.

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.
