Synopsis
Najib, a reserved sixteen-year-old teenager, spends his holidays alone, captivated by video games. When his elderly Algerian neighbor disappears, Najib discreetly takes the keys to the apartment and gradually immerses himself in the story of a bygone generation. This exploration encourages him to open up to the world and explore new isles before they disappear.

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.
