Il palazzo

In the heart of Rome, face to Saint Peter’s, stands a Palace. The owner, like a renaissance patron, has once been offering shelter to a bizarre group of friends, embracing their joyfully ambitious causes. The perfect hideout from where to pursue the most aleatory artistic projects, far from the hassles of life. Now in their 50s’, they are suddenly reunited by the premature death of their charismatic leader, Mauro. He left something tangible to the group of friends: hours of footage where he directed them in the most diverse roles, a supposed masterpiece that was never finished, and now a a mirror reflecting images from the past. The mourning, in the shudder of a moment, shakes the numbed spirits, leading them into a radical confrontation with their future.

La Grande Aventure Du Cirque Plume

"For the son of a worker, a technical baccalaureate is not bad enough! Bernard Kudlak, the future artistic director, took exception to this prediction by an uninspired guidance counselor. This was the starting point of Cirque Plume: the story of a group of friends who, destined for the factory, chose to invent the lives of artists. With no technical training, they embarked on the adventure, unaware that they would contribute to the invention of a new artistic genre. Founders of the troupe, guest artists but also show technicians, administrators, cooks... Twenty-five characters tell us about the various stages of the troupe's construction, from the carefree days of their twenties to the need to reinvent themselves, from DIY to a cultural enterprise. An epic story shared by its protagonists.

MuM Calls It Quits

Carla Michelsen has had enough. Each of her three children will get 250,000 euros if they sign a contract she’s drawn up to disown them. Will they go for it? Philipp, the youngest, desperately needs the money, as he’s lost a fortune through speculation. Rita takes a while to decide, but eventually also accepts this sudden break. The only one who vehemently resists it is Doro, the middle child; she values the family unit. While the siblings can’t handle staying with their mother and prefer to stay in a hotel, Doro’s daughter, Joe, stays with her grandmother. The two get along well. When Joe confesses to being pregnant, however, Carla straightforwardly advises the granddaughter to have an abortion. Joe is horrified. In a rash move, she takes off with some of the money — with unforeseen consequences.
