The Lonely Woman
Synopsis
Akosse Legba, a Togolese young lady, was a victim of modern slavery. A luxurious Parisian apartment is the theater of the recollections of her past. So, in the empty rooms, resounds her voice which tells about the conditions of her trip to France, her sufferings and how a fragile process of freeing was slowly set up thanks to the objects which constituted her daily environment.

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.
