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.

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.
