Synopsis
Several people have barricaded themselves inside a bar. The owner is in the kitchen baking cakes. The music must never stop, otherwise something terrible could happen. The inhabitants of this world on pause come back to life, embrace each other, fall down, unite, and rise again.

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.
