Synopsis
By hook or by crook, Fatia moves toward the ring. She knocks down her adversary, feints, bleeds and persists. Fatia doesn't speak about her pain, especially not about the pain of losing her father when she was 10. Her mother entered her into a boxing tournament in Sétif, Algeria, where her father is buried. It's an opportunity to speak to her daughter about her past and to free her.

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.
