"Le cauchemar de l'enfant" is a film animation that depicts a traumatic episode in which a child overhears a serious conversation between her parents behind a door. The growing plants serve as a metaphor for cancer spreading within the body.

The animation movie was projected during the theater piece “La Naissance des Flaques”, written and performed by Oyster Tea Party
