What Do the Maknines Dream Of
Synopsis
What Do the Maknines Dream of follows the existential drift of two young Algerians as they are about to leave everything behind to cross the Mediterranean. Over the course of a day, the film is an invitation to get lost with this unusual couple, to experience their loneliness, to wander along with them through the streets, to share their passions, their fears, and to feel their pain as they say goodbye.

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.
