1-Who are the two characters in the film?
A girl and a boy.
2-Are the two characters the same age at the beginning and end of the film?
No, the characters grow. Young children at first, they become adolescents.
3-How would you describe the two characters in the first scene of the film?
From the start, the little girl, attracted by the little boy, dreams of marrying him. The little boy seems indifferent.
4-What happens at 1 min 10 sec of the film? How does the boy react?
The little girl tries to seduce the boy with kisses; the boy, embarrassed, steps back.
He gets scared when the little girl insists on dressing in a wedding dress.
We understand his fear in particular with the tremor of his voice at 1 min 54 s.
5-What does the scene 2 minutes into the film mean?
Time speeds up and several years pass in a few seconds. Scrolling through the posters helps us understand this. This is confirmed by the second scene of the film because the children have grown up.
6-Does the relationship between the characters change in the second scene?
No, on the contrary, the situation is getting worse. The girl continues to harass the boy, forces him to tie his shoelaces, shows him the bottom of her skirt. The boy faints.
7-How old are the characters in the third scene? Is the relationship changing?
They became teenagers. The young girl continues to harass the boy but he is no longer afraid of her; on the contrary, he enters into her game and touches her buttocks and chest.
At first, the girl slaps the boy but ends up kissing him.

1- About sexual harassment
- How to define sexual harassment?
Sexual harassment is defined as the act of repeatedly imposing on a person comments or behaviors with a sexual connotation which either undermine their dignity because of their degrading or humiliating nature, or create an intimidating, hostile or offensive situation against them. Any form of pressure with the aim of obtaining an act of a sexual nature, even if not repeated, is also considered sexual harassment.
We can address the theme of harassment in general, which consists of a succession of hostile actions aimed at psychologically weakening the person who is the victim. This may involve moral harassment, such as insults or threats, or physical attacks.
Harassment goes against respect for others: it is violence based on relationships of domination and intimidation with serious consequences for the victims.
