- A group of friends with Down Syndrome have been attending the same school for 40 years, they have passed all the courses, all the teachers and, even their parents who were with them, are now gone.

They will do everything to prevent anyone from interfering with their adult dreams.

- Every year, thousands of Tour de France fans gather along strategic points of the race route in hopes of catching a glimpse of the competition. Some will go down in posterity, caught in glimpses of the congested crowd by cameras chasing the action; others will manage to seize snapshots of the cyclists in a long-awaited moment that's over far too soon. This time, two Belgian documentary filmmakers hand the mic over to these Tour "regulars" who, in some cases, arrive with trailer-in-tow a week before the event to secure the best possible position. In this behind-the-scenes look at the most prestigious cycling race in the world, HOLY TOUR reveals the human side to a mega-sports event riddled with tenderness and humor.

They are only fourteen kilometers from the Iberian Peninsula but they wonder whether they be allowed to make it to Europe or if they will be deported back to the country they come from? Anxiety - not to say anguish - is their common lot, all the more as they have thrown everything away to pursue their "European Dream"...

- From September 2012 to May 2013, France avidly instigates the bill of marriage equality. During these nine months of legislative gestation, sociologist Irène Théry exposes what's at stake to her son. What comes out of it is a cinematic tale of teddy bears, toys, and cardboard shreds. An intimate portrait and national soap opera, this movie makes us revisit something we all thought we knew perfectly: family.

- January 2011 in Egypt was marked by anti-government demonstrations. While tens of thousands of protesters gathered in Cairo, poor villagers in the country's south followed the tense situation on Tahrir Square on their TV screens and in the daily newspapers.

The film reveals the villagers' hopes and disappointments, and shows that despite the wild events, very little has actually changed in their lives.
