- The story beginns on 24 October 1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis. The Second World War with its hardships and bombs, the Nazi occupation and the collaborators, is still on people's mind. In 1962, everyone is afraid of the communists, the devil and the next world war. Priests reign supreme over those who attend church and those who do not. The story is told from the point of view of the 12-year old Norbi Welscheid, who lives in a small industrial town typical of the south of Luxembourg. His father owns a shop where he sells books and stationery, as well as religious articles. In the year 1962, Norbi will have to face the mysteries of sexuality and the war, subjects that are beyond his comprehension since it was not considered necessary in those days to explain them to children. However, when the film starts, Norbi has other mysteries to solve. What does 'P' stand for, a letter his father regularly notes in his diary? Who killed the man in the Rue des Hauts-Fourneaux? Why is his father checking so closely on Norbis sister? Why, one fine day, is the letter 'P' missing from the luminous sign hanging over his fathers shop? And why does Norbi continue to wet his bed? And then there is school. In Norbis class, the boss is Aloyse. Aloyse is bigger, stronger and older than all the other pupils. The teacher, Mr. Treines imposes his authority by slapping his pupils and inflicting other forms of punishment. He is only interested in those who are likely to pass the entrance examination for secondary school. Norbi is one of them, but not Aloyse. This is why Aloyse feels such scorn for Norbi, until the day the latter shows him how to steal sweets from the grocer. From that moment, they are the best of friends. Aloyse is convinced that Mr. Pinato, the Italian tenant of the Welscheid family, is the Rue des Hauts-Fourneaux murderer. Norbi also gets to know Fred better. Fred scares him a little because he talks about Nazis, deserters, ferrymen and, above all, the Gielemännchen (collaborators), words that frighten Norbi because he does not know what they mean. The friendship between Norbi and Aloyse comes to an end when Aloyse tries to steal a toy from the shop owned by Norbis father. Norbi disowns his friend, who in turn refuses to forgive him. And then one day, Fred thinks he has discovered the identity of 'P' marked in the fathers diary. He asks Norbi to help him write the word Gielemännchen on the wall of Mr. Welscheids shop. Norbi has no idea what it is all about but when he writes the word, there is an outcry all over the neighbourhood. For Norbi, time has come to prove he is no longer a child. The last year at primary school draws to a close. Norbi has learned many things and to his great surprise, his father realises he no longer has the last word at home, whether it is with Norbi himself, Josette or the mother. There seems to be a change in the air

- Nazi Germany occupied the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg from 1940 to 1944, with the intention of returning the Luxembourgers to their so-called German roots. Paradoxically, this attempt to incorporate Luxembourg into the Third Reich triggered the nation's self-awareness. Using mostly unseen archive footage, the film tells the story of the clash between ideologies: the Nazi vision of a 'German' Luxembourg, colliding violently with the idea of an independent Grand Duchy. For a people who where becoming aware of their national identity, this was a huge cultural shock. The emotional backbone of the film rests on the many testimonies of the people who lived through that tragic period: those who took part in the only general strike ever organised against the Nazi occupant, those who were enlisted into the German army and were forced to fight their allies on the Russian front, those who joined the many small resistance groups dedicated to hiding, at the risk of their lives, the young Luxembourgers who managed to escape forced conscription into the Wehrmacht, and those who survived deportation into labour and concentration camps.

- In the heart of a rural village, nestled amid-st rolling hills and lush greenery, lived a girl named Poline. Born into a life of poverty, Poline's childhood was marked by struggle and hardship. Her father had passed away when she was just a baby, leaving her mother to raise her alone amid-st the crushing weight of poverty's grasp. Despite their meager circumstances, Poline's mother harbored one dream above all else - to give her daughter the education she herself had been denied. With unwavering determination, she scrimped and saved every penny, sacrificing her own comfort for the sake of Poline's future. It was this relentless drive that led Poline to a boarding school miles away from home, a place of opportunity and promise amid-st the bleakness of their village life. Stepping onto the pristine grounds of the prestigious institution, Poline felt a mixture of excitement and apprehension, her heart fluttering with the possibility of a brighter tomorrow. Yet, amid the sea of privilege and wealth that surrounded her, Poline couldn't help but feel out of place. Her clothes were threadbare, her shoes worn thin from years of use, a stark contrast to the designer labels and luxury goods flaunted by her fellow students. It was here, amid-st the glaring divide between the haves and the have-knots, that Poline first encountered Angle. Angle was a whirlwind of energy and charisma, her infectious laughter echoing through the corridors of the school like a beacon of light. Despite coming from a similarly impoverished background, Angle had carved out a niche for herself as the school's resident celebrity, her popularity fueled by a lucrative side hustle - dealing girls to wealthy older men in exchange for money and gifts. At first, Poline was hesitant to befriend Angle, her moral compass recoiling at the thought of such unsavory dealings. Yet, as they spent more time together, Poline couldn't help but be drawn to Angle's magnetic charm, her tales of adventure and excitement a welcome respite from the monotony of school life. It was during one of their late-night gossip sessions that Angle made Poline an offer she couldn't refuse - the chance to experience a taste of the glamorous life Angle had become accustomed to. With a mischievous twinkle in her eye, Angle revealed her plan to introduce Poline to a wealthy benefactor, a man who would shower her with gifts and money in exchange for her company. Poline was hesitant at first, her moral compass wavering in the face of such temptation. Yet, the allure of escape from the suffocating grip of poverty proved too potent to resist. With Angle's reassurance, she tentatively agreed to meet the mysterious benefactor, her heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. The night of the rendezvous arrived, and Poline found herself dressed in her finest clothes, her nerves frayed with anticipation. Angle, ever the mastermind, had orchestrated everything down to the last detail, assuring Poline that their benefactor would be charmed by her innocence and naivety. As they waited nervously in the dimly lit cafe, a man approached their table, his suave demeanor and expensive attire marking him as a man of wealth and privilege. He introduced himself as Kiyanga, a self-made millionaire with a penchant for helping young girls like Poline fulfill their dreams. For a moment, Poline allowed herself to believe in the fairy tale Kiyanga spun, the illusion of a better life just within her grasp. Yet, as the night wore on, cracks began to appear in Kiyanga's carefully crafted facade. His stories grew more extravagant, his promises more outlandish, until they bordered on the absurd. It was only when Angle discreetly slipped Poline a note, her eyes wide with alarm, that Poline realized the true nature of Kiyanga's intentions. He wasn't the wealthy benefactor he claimed to be - he was a fraud, preying on vulnerable girls like her for his own twisted pleasure. In a panic, Poline fled from the cafe, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and betrayal. How could she have been so foolish to believe in Kiyanga's lies? Anger bubbled up inside her, hot and fierce, directed not only at Kiyanga but at herself for allowing her desperation to cloud her judgment. As the days turned into weeks, Poline tried to put the disastrous encounter behind her, yet the memory of Kiyanga's deceit lingered like a dark shadow over her soul. She threw herself into her studies, determined to prove to herself and the world that she was more than just a naive girl from a poor background. Yet, try as she might, Poline couldn't shake the feeling of shame that clung to her like a second skin. How could she face her mother, knowing she had fallen victim to such a despicable scheme? The thought of disappointing the one person who had sacrificed everything for her sake filled Poline with a sense of dread so profound it threatened to consume her whole. It was Angle who finally broke through the walls of Poline's despair, her unwavering loyalty a beacon of light in the darkness. Together, they confronted the harsh realities of their situation, drawing strength from each other's resilience in the face of adversity. With Angle's support, Poline found the courage to confide in her mother, laying bare the truth of her misadventure with Kiyanga. To her surprise, her mother's response was not one of anger or disappointment, but of unconditional love and understanding. Through tear-filled eyes, Poline's mother enveloped her daughter in a warm embrace, her words of forgiveness a balm to Poline's wounded soul. In that moment, Poline realized that true wealth was not measured in material possessions, but in the love and support of those who mattered most. Armed with her mother's unwavering faith and Angle's steadfast friendship, Poline embarked on a journey of self-discovery, determined to forge her own path in a world fraught with uncertainty. Though the road ahead would be fraught with challenges and obstacles, she faced the future with a newfound sense of resilience and hope, her dreams of a better life stronger than ever before.
