Synopsis
A summer morning in the heart of Périgord noir. Five-year-old Lou detects a foreign smell in her mother's hair: that of cold tobacco. When a man joins them to spend the afternoon at the river, Lou observes him and wonders: who is he, what is he doing there, and why is he glued to his mother?

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.
