Thi Bach is of Vietnamese origin. She arrived in France at the age of 15 in 1975 and has lived there ever since. Guillaume Mazeline is the grandson of André, an officer in the French Expeditionary Corps who fought in the Indochina War between 1948 and 1950. In May 2005, the two of them took a trip to Ho Chi Minh City, where Thi Bach grew up, then to Hanoi and the surrounding countryside, where André spent two years. They went in search of traces of their past. Extending the narrative, the Vietnamese people they meet talk about their memories of the war and their hopes and concerns about the evolution of their society. This Vietnam and that of the Indochina War are the contexts for the filmmakers' questioning. Both revisit their identities: that of a grandson confronted with his grandfather's colonial experience, and that of a Vietnamese woman who has now become a French citizen.

France, 1350. In the midst of the Black Plague, a monk returns to a monastery after a long pilgrimage. As he struggles to readjust and find his place, an intruder breaks into the monastery, and he discovers — all too late — that a new evil has followed him back.

In 1942, more than 8,000 Jews were arrested on 16 and 17 July and sent to the Vélodrome d'Hiver sports center in the 15th district, a stone's throw from the Eiffel Tower, before being deported. The expression "Vel d'Hiv round-up" has become part of our collective memory, to the point of becoming the main memorial reference point for France during the dark years. Based on research carried out in unpublished or rarely explored archives, this film retraces the history of this roundup as experienced by hunted Jews and police trackers, from its planning in the Vichy offices to its hour-by-hour unfolding in the streets of Paris.

Two thousand years ago, it was a flourishing city in the middle of what is now a Syrian desert. At the crossroads of trade routes, Palmyra attracted caravanners from Mesopotamia, India and China. In what remains of its ruins, rediscovered by Europeans in the 17th century, its numerous necropolises bear witness to a prosperous past. Carved in limestone in the first centuries of our era, the faces of the representatives - men, women and children - of its greatest families adorn the walls of its tombs. Since 2012, Danish archaeologist Rubina Raja has been leading a long-term project to find, document and retrace the family trees and daily life of these Palmyrenians.

In August 1991, the Soviet empire collapsed. Yet this colossus seemed indestructible: its power had towered over the world for nearly a century. But a collapsed economy, reforms too late to avoid bankruptcy, an abortive coup d'état and the change of power revealed to the world the pre-existing debacle. The Soviet power and state disappeared. From then on, all rules are abolished. What happens when a state disappears and no longer finances or manages the territory under its control?

In May 1968, workers, students and young people rise up against the morality and power of the establishment. Faculties and factories are under occupation. Barricades are erected. Paving slabs are launched. Words give way to actions. This is the confrontation. These images bear witness to the men and women who, in their indignancy, march towards their revolution. 50 years ago, as part of our ARC collective, we filmed the uprising of May and June 1968. Out of this material and scenes borrowed from our other filmmaker friends, we created this film.

Women's work, gender equality, prison conditions, AIDS patients, humanization of hospitals, parental authority, equal pay... Simone Veil fought many battles that are little known today.

In August 1936, the Olympic Games, orchestrated by Joseph Goebbels, the Third Reich's Minister of Propaganda, took place in Berlin. This was a vast charm offensive designed to present Germany as a nation that respected the Olympic principles of equality and fraternity. This documentary reveals the political strategies of the Third Reich, which benefited from the complicity of the International Olympic Committee in thwarting calls for a boycott by several countries. Once the games were over, Nazi policy intensified. How could the civilized world turn a blind eye to this "great illusion"? Gretel Bergmann, the German Jewish athlete at the center of a bargaining chip between the German authorities and the US government, and Noël Vandernotte, who won a bronze medal in rowing, share their stories.
