- Written in an invented language, "nasdat", a slang English hybridized with Russian words, "A Clockwork Orange" caused a double shockwave in the last century: when it was published in 1962, then in 1971, when it was adapted for the screen by Stanley Kubrick. Accused of glorifying violence, echoing the criminal acts that had claimed his work as their own, the deeply wounded British writer set out his concerns about the world in the making in an autobiographical manuscript, "The Clockwork Condition". In it, he sets out the humanist vision that inspired this dystopian universe, where the nihilistic violence of hopeless youth collides with a power determined to control beings through conditioning, using all-powerful technologies.

- On August 21, 1940, Trotsky was assassinated in Mexico City, after eleven years of exile. The killer, Ramon Mercader, a young Spanish communist, was a character straight out of a spy movie.

Through the epic story of Trotsky's last years in exile in Mexico, enriched with flashbacks to his political past, this film, a true historical thriller, offers a cross-narrative between Trotsky's life in exile and the setting up, at the same time, of "Operation Duck", the code name for his assassination.

- In 2015, in the midst of the crisis, Greece brought to power the Tsipras government from the Syriza party with a resolutely alternative program. They strove to put an end to the austerity that had brought their country to its knees since 2009. However they had to face an inflexible Troika - the IMF, the ECB and the European Commission - and a sightless Europe. The latter was doing nothing better than setting ultimatums. Europe was ready to sacrifice one of its own member, Greece, the cradle of democracy and of its cultural roots. For the first time, members of this government, including Yanis Varoufakis, former Greek Finance Minister testify to evoke the Greek resistance. They reveal the backstage of these abysmal negotiations and their experience of power. They talk about their "war", their hopes, their failures and what really happened beyond the media storytelling. The Greek response to the crisis questions the idea of the European solidarity. This fight reveals the dysfunctions of a broken Union and questions a certain idea of Europe. Mixed with the political interview the film capture the reflection of Greek artists on their view on concrete repercussions of the crisis and the political and economic sense to give back to the people. The Greek crisis questions us as Europeans, our aspirations, fears, our political and economic choices. It acts as mirror of ourselves. A parable of our time.
