Synopsis
Luca (age 10), a young Greek immigrant living in Cargèse on the Corsican coast, misses Greece. The boy finds solace in training and his obsession with freediving, an ancient sport that involves diving on a single breath. But his father, Alex (39), a former champion tormented by the life he left behind and the recent disappearance of his wife at sea, forbids him from pursuing the sport due to his risky behavior. Unable to find his place in the village and at odds with his father, Luca is at his wit’s end. The boy is ready to risk everything to prove he has what it takes and make the ultimate dive.

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.
