Part 2/7:
Virginie’s daughter, Laura, faces bullying at school for their unusual choice of livelihood. The societal stigma against locust farming has become unbearable for her, leading to a growing resentment towards her mother. This compounded pressure creates a layer of emotional distress in the family dynamic, as Laura struggles to cope with the ridicule and embarrassment.
As Virginie continues to face loss on both personal and economic fronts, her attempts to secure a sale for her locusts result in disappointment when a potential buyer backs out. This setback further dampens the family’s already fragile finances, escalating the tension within the household.
