- Regularized at 43 years old, Zéki lives in Brussels with his wife Eylem. Every day, before dawn, he goes to work in a large warehouse in Flanders.

- The Boulevard d'Ypres in Brussels, with its colourful Mediterranean stores, offers glimpses of the Tales of One Thousand and One Nights. Sarah Vanagt turned one the empty stores into a film studio and invited her neighbours - a mix of new inhabitants, asylum-seekers and shopkeepers - to come and tell a story, a contemporary fairy tale. Before the empty store becomes a restaurant, a fitness centre, or an art gallery, the old store-house temporarily functions as a place of memory. The shop, the street, and the storytellers all find themselves at a point zero of history.
- In Brussels, a group of citizens have been fighting for five years to find, finance and rehabilitate a building that will house health services allowing the most disadvantaged to "get their heads straight".

- While most of Cameroon's Pygmies still live in the bush, a handful of families have moved to a paved road in a village where their daily lives balance between maintaining traditions and adapting to Bantu society.

- How do you age in your host country when you are a migrant? Are we thinking of returning to our country of origin or are we staying close to our children and our social network, built year after year? At retirement age, some decide to return to their homeland while others prefer to age where they have built their friendly, professional and family lives. Belgium, which has been confronted with this issue for some years now, must consider innovative solutions, while taking into account the specificities of this aging migrant population.
- The town of Tomioka was evacuated after the meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in 2011. Naoto MATSUMURA was the only one who refused to leave, and by now, other former inhabitants revisit their houses regularly, preparing to move back to their hometown as soon as possible. Their hopes may seem irrational, but Gilles Laurent's impressive documentary focuses on their steadfast will to survive.
- Men between 20 and 40 who have been confronted with an unforeseen pregnancy. In most cases, abortion followed. They reveal their feelings and thoughts about this event. Through these life stories, the film reflects on a man's place in the relations between women and men.

- Sanata and Dicko are dyers in Mali. Sanata produces coloured bazins in Bamako with her co-wives. Dicko lives in the bush in the Dogon country and dyes indigo loincloths. This film is a journey that takes us from the Dogon village to the big city, from the dark indigo hanging on the banco walls to the brightness of the multicoloured fabrics adorning the Bamako streets. It traces in dotted lines the similarities and differences between these craftswomen, both in the exercise of their art and at the economic and social level. While their expertise is remarkable, both are constantly facing the same challenge: to ensure a dignified life for their children.
