- In the 1890s, Father Adolf Daens goes to Aalst, a textile town where child labor is rife, pay and working conditions are horrible, the poor have no vote, and the Catholic church backs the petite bourgeoisie in oppressing workers. He writes a few columns for the Catholic paper, and soon workers are listening and the powerful are in an uproar. He's expelled from the Catholic party, so he starts the Christian Democrats and is elected to Parliament. After Rome disciplines him, he must choose between two callings, as priest and as champion of workers. In subplots, a courageous young woman falls in love with a socialist and survives a shop foreman's rape; children die; prelates play billiards.

- A film crew crisscrosses England trying to unravel the mystery surrounding a record released 30 years earlier, "Spirit of Eden", that defined the passage from light to shadow of its makers, the band Talk Talk and its lead singer Mark Hollis. From overwhelming obstacles to unpredictable encounters, their journey soon turns into an organic quest. With silence as a horizon line. And punk as a philosophy, thinking that music is accessible to all and that the human spirit is above the technique.
- At nightfall, a four-engine aircraft landed at an airport. Only one passenger goes down, Joe, the last survivor of the Jewish family Falsch. He has left Berlin for forty years, in 1938. In the arrival room his dead family is there: parents, sister, brother, sister-in-law, aunt (all of them dead in concentration camps), the uncle and his wife (exiled in England, passed in Palestine and returned to die in Berlin) and Lili, the young German, daughter of a Nazi, whom he loved and who died under the bombing of Berlin.

- The Amazon flows lazily through the goldmine-gashed landscape of northern Peru. Using real eyewitness accounts, directors Bénédicte Liénard and Mary Jimenez tell the story of a young woman who winds up in the clutches of forced prostitution when her initially hopeful attempt to escape the constrictions of her village goes wrong. Step by step, she is robbed of her moral and physical integrity. The film reconstitutes a space of dignity and returns voice and identity to a fate formally made nameless. With its powerful imagery, the girl's traumatic odyssey embodies the destruction of life in a capitalist world in connection with horrific natural devastation.
- Three people near the end of their lives meet with choreographers, actors and musicians. They take part in a unique experience which involves music, dance and silence. Their journey becomes a tribute to the fragility of the human condition, between reality and representation, tragedy of the body and freedom of the spirit. Together they question their own relationship with death.

- People keep on saying that masturbation makes you deaf, to the extent that no one dares to have an opinion on the matter anymore... Using fiction to show two young, modern people afraid of nothing, this film deals with "self-pleasure" and its numerous representations. Manu and Emma, our two heroes, exchange their impressions on the blog "M... la maudite" whose colourful layout inspires all kinds of fantasies. Emma publishes her interviews with writers, philosophers, artists and doctors who provide a historical overview of the subject. Manu, novice philosopher, answers. To back up their words, the director Jean-Paul Fargier leads us on a highly eclectic journey through art: from the elegant works of Rodin, Klimt and Schiele to Dali's fantastical ravings, from the provocative performances of the 1970s to the controversial stage productions of Jan Fabre, from the realism of certain fiction works to modern comedies devoid of all hang-ups, all the way up to the now commonplace sex toys... These intersecting views of self-pleasure show that masturbation continues to be an artistic and ideological issue.
