Le plongeoir

The diving board - At the swimming pool, two very young girls are dragged against their will to the top of the diving board by two boys. At first flattered, then worried and paralysed with fear, they are unable to break free from their grip. When one is pushed into the water, the other finally manages to say no.


A jump into the river - Two boys, aged 12 and 17, spend the day by a river. The older boy, anxious to live up to masculine expectations, throws the younger boy into the river to teach him how to swim and make him ‘a man’.


It's love at the beach - A mother's view of her teenage son and his new girlfriend. The three are at the beach and the young man has a hard time understanding why his girlfriend gets angry when he drags her into the sea against her will.

"Le plongeoir" is available on Storyplay'r in an illustrated version, in an audio version narrated by french native storytellers. Thanks to our reading module, we can offer a reading aid for this story as well as for all the other ones, and tools for a dyslexic children adapted version.
