The Children's Empire, an Angry Dakar Woman

Dakar. By thousands, children live in the street. With the support of some artists, Anta M' Bow took up the challenge and created the Empire of children. Welcoming the children, putting them back and their feet and do everything so that they return to family, it is the bet of the Empire.

Tender Age, by Julien Gaspar-Oliveri
Sixteen-year-old Diane exists exclusively through her mother's gaze. But this intensely close bond between Diane and her mother, Sophie, is becoming increasingly problematic for the teenager. At high school, she would like to be loved like she is at home and expresses it in an awkward way like when she exchanges a favor for a look, in the toilets. A loudmouth, provocative, and seeking attention, Diane tries to stand apart from her mother and wishes, during a weekend, to live like an adult.
