- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
