Synopsis
Blaise’s last fare of the night is a strange one. The young woman in the back seat has turned down every other cab. She wants to act out the dream that’s been haunting her night after night: the driver has to be called Blaise; he has to take her to a particular deserted street and wait with her in the rain; he has to tell her about his younger days playing sax in jazz clubs, and the pianist he never saw again. Something important is meant to happen. She’s convinced tonight’s the night.

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.
