L’atelier des ombres
short fiction
As part of my studies, I had the pleasure of making two short films for the RTS (the Swiss television) program Coeur à Coeur. This appeal for donations focuses on the issue of child abuse and the exploitation of child labor. Seeing this little child running through the streets with a backpack, hurried along by his mother, is a familiar sight, one that we have all surely experienced at that age on our way to school. The stark contrast between his dreams and the reality of his fate highlights the fundamentally flawed nature of child labor, which, instead of building a future, robs children of one.
