Synopsis
A young man walks along a road before venturing into the undergrowth. There he discovers a world where the visual poetry of fairy tales blends with the diffuse dread of Gothic literature, in a constant tension between enchantment and menace. The return to reality will be all the more violent.

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.
