Cantonese Rice
Synopsis
I have slanted eyes but I don't speak Chinese. My grandmother likes cheese but doesn't speak French. To translate between her and me there is my father, but he is reluctant to do so. So I meet other Chinese immigrants, with different languages and backgrounds. Thanks to these detours, the loss of original language gradually makes sense.

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.
