The college bell rang.

Lucie, 13, bites off a piece of the ear of Enzo, a classmate who posted a disgusting montage of her on Facebook.

Blood flows.

And the sentence falls: she is expelled from school.

That's not enough for Enzo's father who shows up at Lucie's HLM and her single mother Juliette.

He claims 1,000 euros from them, otherwise he will file a complaint for assault.

Lucie wants to settle her debt.

During a feverish summer, she wanders in her suburbs and seeks ways to achieve this...

And the Elsewhere column takes us today to Brazzaville Anna Daza, programming officer at the

French Institute of Congo in Brazzaville

Night of Reading

 which will take place from January 20 to 23, 2022, and of which here are some events : 

In general:

The 5th edition of the Nuits de la Lecture,

an initiative of the French Ministry of Culture which seeks to promote reading and the love of literature in all its forms.

This year's theme is "Love again, love always!", and it is a theme that particularly affects artists since it speaks of passion and expression. 

A

poetry competition

which met with great success with more than 80 applications, led by the Styl'oblique collective and

Fann Attiki (the author will also present his novel cave 92).

The first 12 will have the chance to participate in a poetic writing workshop with the author and poet 

Jean d'Amérique

, Rfi theater prize in February 2022. 

A big evening will be held on January 21, 2022, with a reading of the texts of the 3 contest winners, followed by a reading of love texts by candlelight by the slammer collective 

Styl'oblique,

with acoustic accompaniment.

Finally, a

workshop around the voice for women,

given by the Comorian multi-instrumentalist artist

Nawal Mlanao.
