Synopsis
Kenji is eight years old when his parents are murdered right before his eyes. We find him twelve years later, still fleeing oppression and misery along with a group of ten other people. They are on their way to Melilla, the Spanish enclave in Northern Morocco. Multiple trajectories, shattered destinies, but always driven by the same hope, no matter the cost, to break through the barbed wire of Europe and to find freedom.

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.
