- Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1653) was one of the first well-known female painters. The movie tells the story of her youth, when she was guided and protected by her father, the painter Orazio Gentileschi. Her professional curiosity about the male anatomy, forbidden for her eyes, led her to the knowledge of sexual pleasure. But she was also well known because in 1612 she had to appear in a courtroom because her teacher, Agostino Tassi, was suspected of raping her. She tried to protect him, but was put in the thumb screws...
- James Furlong, motherless, discovered an extraordinary gift by accident which caused the death of his father and his grandmother.
- A psychiatrist is assigned to work on the case of a disturbed young girl.
- Brothers Martin and Simon, not yet teens, are incorrigible vandals; Martin runs away from reform school, Simon from foster homes, and they always find each other in a seacoast town of Lignan, where their destructive behavior is infamous. (It may date to their mother's leaving the family.) Martin is philosophical, romantic, and poetic: he dreams of being the son of a shark; he holds tight to a book about goldfish his mother gave him. In both halting and wild ways, he tries to court Marie, a neighbor girl. Simon, with a pocketknife and an intractable will, seems more dangerous to others. What, on earth, is there for these children-becoming-men?
- Michel le Gorgues is a by-the-book government employee in charge of Building Safety & Sanitation at the Paris "Prefecture". Because he has deemed as unsanitary and dangerous a tenement occupied by African immigrants, the zealous official will be a victim of the practices of a great "marabout" or witch doctor, who has been brought from the deep bush in Africa for this occasion. A good-natured comedy on cultural differences, with exceptional performances by Jacques Villeret and Isaach de Bankolé, each with his own brand of comedic timing and style.

- A cool animated film that revisits the history of the Universe, from "before the beginning", through a number of well-known events: the Big Bang, the soup, the beginning of life on Earth, how it slowly evolves, and the cue of mankind, etc.
