J'ai rencontré Reda un soir de Noël. Je rentrais chez moi après un repas avec des amis, vers quatre heures…
du matin. Il m'a abordé dans la rue et j'ai fini par lui proposer de monter dans mon studio. Ensuite, il m'a raconté l'histoire de son enfance et celle de l'arrivée en France de son père, qui avait fui l'Algérie. Nous avons passé le reste de la nuit ensemble, on discutait, on riait. Vers six heures du matin, il a sorti un revolver et il a dit qu'il allait me tuer. Il m'a insulté, étranglé, violé. Le lendemain, les démarches médicales et judiciaires ont commencé. Plus tard, je me suis confié à ma soeur. Je l'ai entendue raconter à sa manière ces événements. En revenant sur mon enfance, mais aussi sur la vie de Reda et celle de son père, en réfléchissant à l'émigration, au racisme, à la misère, au désir ou aux effets du traumatisme, je voudrais à mon tour comprendre ce qui s'est passé cette nuit-là. Et par là, esquisser une histoire de la violence. 2016.By Zoë Strachan. 2011
