- In the 18th century, Nicolas Restif de la Bretonne wrote history, so mixed with his own imagination that the difference between reality and fiction was often indistinguishable. He was nicknamed "the Owl" because it was his habit to roam the streets of Paris at night. Les Nuits Révolutionnaires, based on Les Nuits de Paris, takes place in the period 1789-1793 and, rather than giving a description of the historical facts of these years, reports the life of the nightlife of Paris. They reveal other characters who bewitched the shadows and, among them, the prostitutes, the blind man and the lamplighter.
- On July 13, 1959, in the 19th borough of Paris, an activist from the FLN (National Liberation Front) refused to assassinate a member of the MNA (Algerian National Movement), a rival national movement. For fear of reprisals and knowing that he had been sentenced to death by the FLN, this man found protection with the French authorities and definitively signed up as a harki on January 2, 1960. This was not the beginning of a fiction, but the story of Rabah Zanoun's father. Today, he became aware of the unacknowledged drama that his father experienced. Uprooted, humiliated, ridiculed, he had never spoken. Together, they decide to go in search of the past, on the roads of Lorraine and Kabylie, to understand its history and finally give the floor to a harki. Far from investigative or historical investigation films, this documentary aims to be an intimate reading of the destiny of a man.
