Igor Stravinsky composed Elegy for Viola in 1994 “so that Germain Prévost could play it in memory of Alphonse Onnou, founder of the Pro Arte Quartet”. Tribute and lament, the piece is played here by Gérard Caussé, assisted, if one can say so, by a garden banded snail. Riding the bow, the gastropod goes from the bottom to the top of the stick during the music. The title, which is a logic expression that imposes a double condition simultaneously, points to the link between animal and human, between music and silence, between seeing and listening, between two astonishments, two sliding virtuosities.

It offers the unique perspective of Congolese co-writers Patrick Kabeya and Mina Malu, as they document the history of a country that has so far mostly been told through the eyes of foreigners.

From the 1840s until the 1940s, anonymous Afro-American women made rag dolls for their own children or for the white children they were looking after. Black, injured, forgotten and magnificent dolls, gathered together over the years in Debbie Neff’s collection, here lend their moving expressive features to the women that a century of slavery, segregation and racism tried to silence. Far from being the mute witnesses of their suffering, dreams and courage, these objects haunted by so many stories become, for the length of this film, the intermediaries of a discourse of self-affirmation and liberation. From Sojourner Truth to Maya Angelou,

Brazil. In a neighborhood like so many others, 4 kids meet to play. The year is 1994, World Cup. The streets are painted and the atmosphere is joyful. It's time to celebrate. Despite the frenzy over the Brazilian team, they do not play football, but a game with their hands. They get their sticks, plastic bottles, a tennis ball and chalk... A TACO or BETS match will start, depending on the region in the country. The place is peculiar, the field is the street, the fans are the people who come and go and there is no referee, which causes a lot of confusion. They play, get hurt, fight, help each other, but the most important thing is to have fun. Here it does not matter differences, prejudice nor contradiction because there is only one condition : friendship and unity".
