Synopsis
Marianne, a beautiful girl from Reunion Island destined for a great career as a mermaid swimming champion, has been going through hell since a huge beard began to grow on her face following a psychological shock. Rejected and no longer able to stand her image, she will try everything to get rid of this improbable hairy attribute but will end up being confronted with something much more monstrous than herself.

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.
