Essling
Synopsis
South of France. Adrien, a pool fitter, is installing a shutter for a major customer: Vincent, a sixty-year-old who is drowning his wife's departure in pastis, xenophobia, and a passion for his dog Essling. On this particular day, the canine disappears. Vincent tilts even further into craziness and leads Adrien on a mad search for a scapegoat.

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.
