 Presentation by and discussion with University of Richmond Assistant

Odette is 8 years old, she loves drawing and dancing. Why should she be suspicious of a friend of her parents who offers her to “play tickling”? As an adult, Odette dances her anger, frees her speech and embraces life with rage. . .

Avoiding voyeurism, Andréa Bescond’s film is a powerful plea for vigilance and attentiveness to children and their distress signals.
