- One of the most intangible yet defining procedures in life is none other than the passage from puberty to adulthood, an experience depicted in countless films and documentaries, though rarely with the emotional intelligence and unpretentious authenticity encompassed in this film. Except from imminent adulthood, the girls from Tell Them About Us also have to deal with another complicated condition; despite their Arab, Kurdish and Roma origins, they are growing up in a provincial town in Germany. Through this film (or, rather, actually through their very existence, their intoxicating energy, their bravery, their smiles, as well as their dreams), they are not just laying claim to their position in life but to a better future, speaking out about the way they live and the future they want to build with a genuinely hopeful outlook. Simple in its conception although an intricate result, Rand Beiruty's documentary is as close to the definition of "slice of life" as it can get; a slice that is rather delicious, flavorful, and juicy.

- If Japan is renowned for its rituals and refinement, one of its arts has seen its reputation tainted by scandal and has gradually sunk into oblivion: horimono tattooing. For a long time, these ink drawings were reputed to provide wearers with magical protection. They eased the fears of fishermen heading out to sea, gave heart to firefighters battling flames and strength to workers perched on the highest scaffolding. Outlawed in the mid-19th century, the horimono was then taken over by the yakuza mafia gangs, becoming a symbol of terror. Today, a handful of enthusiasts have set about restoring this tradition to its former glory. Masters of this art, born in the 17th century, open the doors of their workshops.
- Edward II, who ruled England in the early 14th century, was surrounded by opponents: the Scots in the North, the French on the continent, and the barons in his own country.

He decides on the latter and follows a mysterious telephone wire hoping to finally reach the job advisor. Instead, he meets many self-employed people with odd jobs. To find his place in this dystopian society, Thomas is forced to come up with something extraordinary.

Worldwide, 38% of the adult population falls short of the World Health Organization's recommendations in this area. This figure is twice as high in developed countries: one French person in two admits to doing no sport at all. While we know the undeniable beneficial effects of exercise on the body and mind, it's often difficult to resist the - quite natural - temptation to make the least effort.

- From "The Little Mermaid" to "The Snow Queen", Hans Christian Andersen has left behind a rich collection of stories tinged with magic, but also with tragedy, which have kept a place of honor, from generation to generation, in children's libraries and the collective imagination. At the antipodes of the Grimm brothers' optimistic folk tales, the melancholy of his stories, sometimes crowned with a desperate end, speaks true to children and their parents alike. His tales, whose contemporary popularity also owes much to Disney, earned him immense fame from his maturity, beyond the borders of his native Denmark, even if the rest of his work (he was also a playwright, poet, novelist and short story writer) was hardly successful.
- Maestro Barenboim opens the doors of his house in Berlin and performs Beethoven's famous "Geistertrio", with his son Michael Barenboim on violin and Kian Soltani on cello. He also shares some memories in an interview with Annie Dutoit.
