Synopsis
In March 2022, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Parisian high school where I work welcomed students from the Kyiv International Highschool. The arrival of young Yuliia in my Year 11 class brought back traumatic memories of my arrival in France in 1989, at the age of eight, during the Lebanese civil war. (At the time of the so-called “liberation war” led by Lebanese general Michel Aoun against the occupying Syrian army).

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.
