- French artist and author Jean Giraud is one of the most famous and influential comic strip illustrators and authors of all time. He achieved his greatest fame as Moebius - not so much a pseudonym as an alter ego. With his triple-split personality - Jean Giraud, Moebius, Gir - he succeeded in making his work accessible in popular comic strip series like Blueberry, in metaphysical fantasies like John Difool and, not least, to a broad public, with set designs for films such as The Fifth Element. As a co-founder of the comic magazine Métal Hurlant he shook up the world of bourgeois French comics and American super-heroes in 1975, creating a whole new 'grown up' way of looking at the comic strip art form. How could a man invent all those strange places and stories, collaborate with some of the world's maddest artists and even go so far to seriously prepare himself to be picked up by aliens - and then go live a quiet and secure life back in Paris? Was he ever in danger of losing his mind? Or was it necessary for his art to live a life like that, and out of self-protection to split into in different personalities? In Moebius Redux - A Life in Pictures an exceptional artist tells his life's and work's story. Artists he met and left on his way, join in: Longtime collaborators like Alejandro Jodorowsky and Philippe Druillet, Swiss artist H.R. Giger and Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee, admirers like Jim Lee and Mike Mignola. Their narration not only gives an insight in how they experienced working with Giraud, but also presents the fascinatingly woven network around one of the most important comic book artists ever. Inspired by Giraud's visual power Moebius Redux - Ein Leben in Bildern animates the diversity and dynamic of his work. Extraordinary views on Paris, Los Angeles and the Mexican desert build a visual link between his life and his artistic universe, accompanied by the electronic soundtrack composed by "Kraftwerk" legend Karl Bartos.

- This documentary follows a group of Volunteers through a day in Angouleme, France. Their aim is writing down reviews and comments about different places with public access (such as restaurants, shops, drug-stores) making sure they are accessible for people in wheel-chairs. The different group of Volunteers work for an organisation called 'J'accede', which co-produced this film along with the director. The leaders of 'J'accede' gather all the volunteers in the morning and explain them the different criteria they need to keep in mind to assess the public places (for example the width of certain entrances which have to be big enough for wheel-chairs to go through, the size of the disabled toilets, if the place has stairs and/or elevators, parking spaces for disabled people, etc). Once the Voluteers have gathered all the information, they go back to their point of departure, the first place they gathered in, and introduce all the information in the website of the organisation 'J'accede' so it can be accessible for anyone who wishes to find out information about a new city. The aim of all this is that disabled people who live in a certain town in France and wish to travel somewhere else inside of the country, are not limited by the fact that they are in a wheel-chair, but on the contrary, that they are able to organise their trip and find out which places they can access with no difficulties and make their trip much more comfortable.

Julien, Martin's best friend, is an equally militant pro-lifer and will end the friendship if he allows Sally to abort. His barren ex-wife subversively influences Sally into keeping the baby. Meanwhile, Martin becomes friends with a pregnant teen who unexpectedly gives birth.
