Synopsis
At the Fleury-Mérogis Prison near Paris, some inmates choose to read and learn about literature and poetry. Moving between detention and reconstruction, this film offers a fresh perspective that allows us to see the men and women who live and are incarcerated there in a different light. It is also a point of departure for a broader reflection on the notion of detention and the balance between punishment and correction.

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.
