Tender Age
Julien Gaspar-Oliveri

Diane, 16, can only live through the eyes of her mother, Sophie. Their symbiotic relationship is becoming increasingly difficult for Diane to bear. At school, she clumsily expresses her need to be loved the way she is at home, like when she trades a favour for a glance, in the toilets. With her sharp tongue, provocative attitude and attention seeking, she tries to break away from her mother. For one weekend, she wants to live like a grown up.
