Bye Bye Morons
When 43-year-old hairdresser Suze Trappet finds out that she's seriously ill, she decides to go looking for a child she was forced to abandon when she was only 15. On her madcap bureaucratic quest she crosses paths with JB, a 50-year-old man in the middle of a burnout, and Mr. Blin, a blind archivist prone to overenthusiasm. The unlikely trio set off on a hilarious and poignant helterskelter journey across the city in search of Suze's long-lost child.
The Green Gang
Environmental crimes drive them nuts, injustices suffered by women revolt them, and greenwashing makes them sick. Meet The Green Panthers, modern day Robin Hoods with a feminist streak, specialized in burglaries against polluters and misogynists. But to break into a safe and get the goods on their biggest target yet, they must team up with Bernard, an aging burglar whose ecofeminism isn’t quite up to date.
Elementary
In the Makarenko public elementary school in the Paris outskirts, children want to learn and to be cheered while teachers know they do not only teach, they also educate. With care, tenacity and efforts, children are trained to become not only responsible citizens but also human beings.
