Fresh Cut
Synopsis
Johan, 33 and out-of-work, moves back with his mother in his hometown. He reluctantly rediscovers her hair salon, small-town gossip... and a childhood sweetheart with whom he shares a heavy past: the burden of an abortion they never confronted. It is time to grow up. He may be 33, but he has yet to become a man.

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.
