N'est pas héros qui veut
During a day at the beach, Alex, a fifty-something single father · clumsily tries to reconnect with his daughter Paloma, a distant and sardonic teenager. To prove his worth to her, he decides to swim out to a small islet offshore. But the crossing turns into a nightmare when he believes he is being swept away by the current and close to drowning. After a struggle as gruelling as it is absurd, he discovers he has been standing in shallow water for several metres. Humiliated but alive, he finally reaches the islet under his daughter's anxious, then admiring gaze. A ridiculous and touching adventure that, for a brief moment, transforms the way they see each other.

Déroutées
In an isolated farmhouse, Claire and Virginie have for years shared a silent daily life of habits and avoidance. Their relationship seems frozen in a togetherness of loneliness, until one evening when a mysterious driverless car appears in front of their home. Drawn in and then swept aboard this living, enigmatic vehicle, they embark on a nocturnal journey that gradually rekindles their closeness and desire. This fantastic interlude leads them back to what they had lost: the bond of love that once united them.

Cet été là
Aubin spends the summer in his southern village before leaving for abroad. Reuniting with his friends Thomas, Louis and Jérémy, he struggles to recognise himself in their conversations about girls and flirting. A confusing attraction to Thomas, something he can't yet name · quietly consumes him. One night around a campfire breaks him open: he drives home in tears and collapses in his mother's arms. The film closes on an Aubin saving up coin by coin to leave · not a flight, but a decision to find himself somewhere else.
