Two brothers separated by one continent and two decades reunite when one of them becomes sick with cancer.

This film is primarily a smell. An indescribable scent that marks you forever. The smell of war, of death. The smell of impossible peace. Constructed as an investigation, the film is a double testimony, that of the executioner and that of the victim, presenting the turning point in the history of a country, a region, several peoples that are at the center of all conflicts in the Middle East. The film tells the story of 5 days in September 1982, which itself sums up a century of conflict. In one place, Beirut. An investigation based on the testimonies of all the protagonists, victims, executioners, accomplices and witnesses.

On November 13, 2015, terrorists killed 130 people in several locations in Paris through attacks and suicide bombings. In the Bataclan club, 90 terror victims died. ARTE once again documents the international police investigations on the occasion of the beginning of the trial against the only surviving terrorist Salah Abdeslam and 19 other suspects. The Islamist attacks of November 13, 2015 shook Paris and the rest of the world. The system's weak points that effectively enabled the attacks were investigated in 2016 by a parliamentary study group, finally summarizing its finds in a dossier. Francis Gillery's documentary "Les ombres du Bataclan" is based on this dossier. It details the investigations and the course of events.

A French man and his Polish wife undertake a long trip to India to make a film about the need for spirituality in the 21st century, and to understand the spiritual attraction of India on Western travelers. But, throughout the journey, the contradictions in their expectations will reveal tensions between Mathieu and Anna. A 6 month road trip, mixing animation and documentary, during which Mathieu will question himself about the meaning of the couple and love.

For their honeymoon, Anna and Mathieu went to Turkey. With camera in hand, they traced the footsteps of Garabed, the Armenian grand-father of Mathieu, who escaped the 1915 genocide. In this country where speaking of the Armenian genocide could be dangerous, their name with Turkish intonations serves a purpose to get people talking about their idea of the Turkish involvement during 1915 tragedy. A road trip across the country leads to a sad confirmation - the denial has become institutional.
