Curiosity on Planet Mars
Synopsis
Ki-Tae lives alone in Seoul. He jumps from one boring part-time job to another, rarely goes out, works at night, and sleeps during the day. Nearing thirty, he’s stuck in a vicious cycle of frustration. One day, he receives a mysterious phone call. Hejin is his number neighbor — she’s bored, dreams of painting, and just wants to get to know him.

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.
