Synopsis
Linz, June, 1901. In this town of Austria where he practices as a surgeon, Rosenthal saves a little boy from an almost certain death, against the will of the head of the clinic. How would he have been able to envisage the consequences of his humanitarian act? And if he had known, would he have done it? Would he have questioned the Hippocratic oath?

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.
