The Gravity of Fields
Synopsis
Gabin (11) and Noé (7) live on a small farm. Their parents—committed environmental activists—set out to build a piece of land in their own image: no fertilisers, no pesticides. But after four years, the farm is still not profitable. The inability to repay their loans, combined with a slug infestation, is the last straw for their father, who is physically and mentally exhausted and ready to question everything. To stop him from leaving, the children run away into the countryside, trying to reconcile their longing for elsewhere with this land that keeps turning against them.

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.
