- Samy, a young European parliamentary assistant arrives in Brussels a few weeks after the Brexit referendum. He is obviously not fit for the job. In fact, Samy doesn't know much about European institutions and he hopes to get away with it thanks to his wit and cleverness - Well, though luck: he gets quickly assigned an obscure mission : write a report on finning (the act of removing fins from sharks and discarding the rest of the animal). How do you get a report adopted at the European Parliament? Samy has no clue. He has six months to make it, six months to master the secrets of the Parliament. Powerful forces will work against him - to start with, a general indifference. Nobody cares about saving sharks - they are far less popular than dolphins.

- Myths die hard and the history of the 20th century is no exception to this iron law. We still live today with preconceived ideas that we take as gospel truths. Thus, we believe that Hiroshima made Japan surrender, that the Marshall Plan saved Europe, that Adolf Hitler was a military genius, or that Mao Zedong was ultimately a necessary evil to modernize China. Certainly, these judgments contain an element of veracity; but, too summary to be faithful, they betray historical reality, the complexity of which they deny. What if the truth is slightly different? By exploring the great national or transnational mythologies, this entirely archival-based series revisits the history of the 20th century through a new angle.

- An extraordinary story of a young woman raised in Switzerland who travels back to Algeria, her birthplace, to meet and kill her natural mother, who abandoned her shortly after birth.

Birth, death and life in general, have little meaning as people struggle for survival. The scenery is stark but at the same time beautiful and the faces of the characters that she meet are marvelous. The film was made in Tunisia, as it does not cast a particularly good light on Algerian men and probably could not have gotten permission to be filmed in Algeria where Sharia is the law of the land.
