SYNOPSIS

In cases of domestic violence, the children’s voice remains fragile in the face of a justice system that still too often considers it to be manipulated by the mothers. Mothers in Struggle recounts the paradox of 3 mothers who, by denouncing the sexual violence committed by their (ex-) spouses against their children, find themselves convicted of child nonrepresentation..

This is the story of the mothers who denounce the sexual violence committed by their (ex-)spouses against their children, and while trying to protect them, find themselves convicted of child nonrepresentation. Even as they dare to break the silence, they are faced with an impossible choice: leave their child in the hands of their abuser, or take the law into their own hands, sometimes risking their lives, to ensure their safety. There are those who remain silent about the violence suffered by their children, fearing that the state will take them away. Those who have to cope with legal proceedings and endure institutional abuse. These women each struggle in their own way, driven by the hope that the recent liberation of speech will change the way society looks at them.

SYNOPSIS

Today, more than ever, consumers are looking for toys for every age and all purposes, from the most traditional to the most innovative, and above all they want a constantly renewed choice, in tune with current trends. Ever more different, ever more surprising, always more to put it simply…

Toys are a trip down memory lane. Crucial to cognitive developmentand social interaction, toys also reflect the evolution of our society. Over the years, they have become the outcome of complex processes with consequences for our heritage, our economy and our environment. More than ever, they are at the heart of clashing realities: tradition versus globalization, relocalization versus production costs, producing without polluting, sustainable or disposable, reusable but not recyclable. It is these dualities that we are going to explore in this films.

SYNOPSIS

Until the appeal, the double punishment of a father accused of child abuse follows the struggle of a family to prove the innocence of a father accused of causing the death of his baby. A deeply moving film that reveals the cold violence of relentless justice.

Alexandre is in court for the second time. He is accused of shaking his baby 9 years ago, causing its death. In the initial trial, Alexandre was unanimously found not guilty. But the public prosecutor’s office appealed, and Alexandre is now awaiting the second trial. Since the tragedy, his whole life, and his family’s, has revolved around legal deadlines. Between fear and determination, he has become the investigator of his own story, fighting for the truth and proving his innocence.
