Synopsis
The sun no longer rises on the Algerian Atlas mountains. Lamine walks across the steppe in this land, where a threatening echo can still be heard. A child with a reassuring presence accompanies him. What are they fleeing together? A present populated by mysterious assailants? Nightmares from the past? This noctural journey in the middle of majestic nature takes on, in turn, the fantastical aspects of a quest, game, or a journey of initiation.

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.
