Synopsis
Elly travels from Berlin to Michigan to visit her grandfather Dixie. Their long-standing email correspondence, begun after their respective queer coming-outs in 2015, finally takes shape in person, revealing mismatched expectations: Dixie associates queerness with physical connection, while Elly does not.

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.
