The film “Les Chatouilles” (co-directed by Andréa Bescon and Eric Métayer) won César awards at the ceremony held on 22 February 2019 in two categories: best supporting actress for Karin Viard, and best adaptation of a theatre play for the two co-directors.

This autobiographical film highlights the tragedy of child sexual abuse and the trauma this inflicts in adulthood; it makes a reference to the Council of Europe’s ONE in FIVE Campaign against sexual abuse and exploitation of children. The film was screened in Strasbourg with the support of the Council of Europe in November 2018, on the occasion of the European Day on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse.
