Under the Thessaloniki sun, Elsa, a professional singer, is raising her eight-year-old daughter on her own following the sudden death of her husband. Through songs, conversations and scenes of the local landscape, the film tells the story of how music and the support of a female vocal group helped her cope with her grief and begin to heal. It tells the story of how, in the wake of tragedy, she managed to find light again.

Anémone is a modern siren. Every night, she sings in a bar, seduces a man, brings him home, and kills him. Her roommates share the same routine and project: get rid of all men on Earth by killing them one after the other.

La louve

Movie

It is nighttime, in the middle of a forest in the Famenne region. Sitting by a fire, Anne begins to tell a story. A dark, strange story, full of magic. And images begin to appear, in time with her voice. Around this mysterious tale of La Loba, the portrait of a determined woman is woven, who is by turns a storyteller, singer, breeder, and mother.

A group of people are standing along the platform of a railway station in La Ciotat, waiting for a train. One is seen coming, at some distance, and eventually stops at the platform. Doors of the railway-cars open and attendants help passengers off and on. Popular legend has it that, when this film was shown, the first-night audience fled the café in terror, fearing being run over by the "approaching" train. This legend has since been identified as promotional embellishment, though there is evidence to suggest that people were astounded at the capabilities of the Lumières' cinématographe.

An exploration —manipulated and staged— of life in Las Hurdes, in the province of Cáceres, in Extremadura, Spain, as it was in 1932. Insalubrity, misery and lack of opportunities provoke the emigration of young people and the solitude of those who remain in the desolation of one of the poorest and least developed Spanish regions at that time.
