Synopsis
In Iran, to be a woman is to be born into resistance. Through an intimate documentary self-portrait, Sahara Moeini tells her story and that of millions of others: a childhood under surveillance, a youth shattered by fear, a life marked by struggle. Composed of personal archives, found footage and memories, *I Was Born a Soldier* is a cry against erasure, a tribute to those who refuse to bow down.

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.
