The Tender Age

THE TENDER AGE follows stories of young people standing at the threshold between childhood and whatever comes next. In stables, animal sanctuaries, classrooms, and fields, these works follow the formative encounters—between children and animals, parents and siblings, mentors, and history—that shape identity in tender and lasting ways. As innocence meets responsibility and curiosity brushes against the realities of power, loss, and change, each film captures the fragile process of becoming.
