A King Without a Crown
Synopsis
Clément is 8. His mother is indonesian, his dad is french, his half-brother who's 11 was born in Indonesia. Radja is a rebellious and brutal boy who doesn't fit in, so his mother plans to send him to live with his grandmother in Indonesia. When Clément understands this, he imagines the worst foolish thing he could do to be sent away with his brother. As the two brothers get closer, Clément's mind wanders off into the tropical jungle, where three demons from the Ramayana, the Indonesian mythological tale, fight.

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.
