Video 1:

-The story sets in a school, during a test of French.

The main character is a student that has to write a letter in French to his best friend, Sam.

At the beginning he wasn't happy about that, because he didn't know what to write and in his opinion it was easier to do all the grammar exercises than to write a letter fluently: in grammar exercises, like in Maths, there's only a right answer, in the language there isn't an only one because it's full of traps!

Then he decided to write a letter to Sam.

Sam had always been his best friend and he had always done everything with him, but recently he was sad because his parents were getting divorced.

He smiled at school but you could see his sadness in his eyes.

But it wasn't all: Charlie, the main character, was also in love with his best friend.

He said that while he was looking at Sam he couldn't think of anybody else, but he wasn't brave enough to tell him that he was his love because he was afraid about his friends' opinion.

But at the end of the video, the main character decides to write his letter to Sam and declares his love.

 

Video 2

The story is setting on a bench, maybe a bench of a park or a school, and lasts three days.

On the first day we can see a pretty young girls that is listening to some music on the bench.

Suddenly a young boy arrives and sits next to the girl.

He looks at her and asks her some questions because he wants to communicate.

After some minutes he asks her what she's listening to and the girl answered that it's a special song and that he can't listen to it.

They start to communicate on lots of notes because the girl can't hear the boy because of the music, writing questions and answers for three days.

On the third day the girl asks to the boy if he wants to listen to her special song.

The boy holds her earphones and listens to it, but he can't hear anything: the only thing he can listen to is silence.

So the young boy understands that the girl is deaf-and-dumb, but, in his opinion, it isn't a problem.

At the end of the video the boy writes his last note to the girl and tells her that she's still beautiful.
