- On 9 January 1836, Pierre Lacenaire goes to the guillotine, a murderer and a thief. He gives Allard, a police inspector, his life story, written while awaiting execution. He also asks Allard to care for Hermine, a lass to whom he has been guardian for more than ten years. In flashbacks, from the prison as Lacenaire writes, from Allard's study as he and Hermine read, and from other readers' memory after the book is published, we see Lacenaire's childhood as he stands up to bullies, including priests, his youthful thieving, his first murder, his brief army career, his seduction of a princess, and his affair with Avril, a young man who dies beside him.
- Hippolyt, the titular oddball, is a far from typical country lawyer. He has been happily married to the woman of his dreams for 15 years, but has an incurable penchant for practical (or rather impractical) jokes.
- Markov and Hamilton are fellow French Legionnaire's at the end of their posting in Afghanistan. An ambush results in an abdication of duty-despite it stemming from an act of fidelity. Markov joined the Legion as a foreign refugee, hoping to gain his French citizenship and provide a better life for his young son. Ultimately, the complications of immigration and legal status takes a heartbreaking turn but also a primal urge to do right by those who have committed their lives to saving others'.
- In 2008, Sophia Balestri contacted Luc Le Clech (Bluff, Picnic, Somber Heroes) and Eric Saussine to create a teaser trailer for her upcoming French-language novel La Plume et l'Envol (Feather And Flight). Eric Saussine was interested by the concept and accepted with the gracious condition that he could use the footage to make a short film of his own. As a matter of fact the two videos use some 80% common footage. The short film does not have the literary voice over of the Teaser Trailer. The footage left alone forms a sylvan and contemplative yet coherent narrative about a girl looking for some personal life that society prohibits. The two videos' color-grading is also totally different, La Plume et l'envol (2008) bearing autumnal colors and Nocturne (2011) - night colors. When the leading female character walks along a lake, this short films present a couple of shots that Peter Jackson would have deemed acceptable for his famous adaptations of The Lord Of The Rings.
