Synopsis

Two lovers lay on a bed. One of the men is asleep, the other is awake. One is Palestinian, the other Israeli. Far away in their homeland, the war rages on, as the night goes on without end. A prose poem dedicated to the beloved, as if to ward off the inequality of conditions and resist the deluge of images, in an attempt to once again find a common language.

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.
