JUSTE DEUX DOIGTS
Joëlle (19) is accompanied by her friend Trinité (20). They listen to music together, sharing a pair of headphones. Joëlle stares at Trinité and asks her if she remembers their night out last Saturday. Trinité tries to avoid the question, but Joëlle insists. Joëlle talks about Gabriel, her rapist, and her friend, who witnessed the scene, immediately understands what she is referring to and tries to lie. This leads to a very intimate and intense exchange between the two young women, with Joëlle trying to get a favor from her friend: her testimony.
