Synopsis
Christmas. Savigny-sur-Orge. My grandmother, Paulette, puts the figurines of the Three Wise Men on a shelf. Memories come flooding back: Paulette in Spain under Franco, a troop of the Civil Guard on the beach one night in summer. I never talk about these things with her, that's the way it is. I return to Alicante a little before Epiphany. There I follow the traces of another memory, that of the civil war that ended in Alicante, giving way to forty years of dictatorship.

Changing Rooms, by Violette Gitton
César is 12 when his older sister Lou is sexually assaulted. In the changing rooms of the fencing classes he attends, everything is measured by the yardstick of violence. César would like to take part in every fight, but he doesn’t have the weapons.
