Synopsis
As Christmas approaches and the Paris Hotel in NYC fills with guests, an immigrant housekeeper, Boni, and her brother, the lobby clerk, are without a place to sleep. Secretly living in the hotel, Boni's need for rest tangles with a deeper curiosity - about the guests, the rooms, and the lives behind closed doors. When she discovers a disturbing notebook in a guest's room, her search for sleep is overtaken by an obsession with the lives around her and the things we keep hidden.

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.
