Standing Men
Synopsis
On the Boulevard de Belleville in Paris, men meet up every day in the street in front of a call shop and mill around inside the shop. Time seems suspended for these men, as I observe them in this little world within the city that has come to represent the Paris branch of "home," their great native land. Moustafa is one of them. Our lives differ, but we share a common condition.

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.
