In the Roman ruins, a French woman and an Italian, who do not speak each other's language, fall in love in a few minutes. But as soon as they understand each other, they quarrel. Capito?, sometimes known as La Fille de Paname et le gars de Padua, invents a love dialogue from Italian to French between two young people who meet in Rome. Built around speech and how it can be a source of connivance or misunderstanding, it tells the story of the difficulties in understanding the other. By finding Françoise Vatel in front of her camera, Luc Moullet films the nascent affection and probes this singular moment where differences end up bringing us together before gradually separating us.

But for many years, and up to recently, stood abandoned, consumed by the jungle, outside the western suburbs of Havana. For more about the story of the schools see revolutionofforms.com.

Egon Bondy (Zbyněk Fišer) was a poet, philosopher, Marxist, and important figure in 20th-century history. This well-known Prague prominent, who in his heyday famously lived on Nerudova Street, is noted for having led a double life: serving as an informant and frequent collaborator for the state police while also maintaining his position as an influential personality in the Czechoslovak underground. His legacy still carries with it a number of ambiguities, controversies, and prejudices. Some still demand he be condemned for his “ratting on the righteous.” Others stress the importance of his philosophical work, despite his seditious existence. The image of Egon Bondy in this documentary gives a playful nod to this ambivalent interpretation. Creators are frequently attracted to his powerful personality and still work to understand his complex worldview.
