Elena and Antonio are not made for each other: they are too different, in terms of character, life choices, worldview
and the way they relate to others. They are total opposites.
However they are overwhelmed by a mutual attraction that they should avoid. Not only because they are not
compatible, but also because Elena is engaged to Giorgio, and Antonio is engaged to Silvia, who is Elena’s best
friend. Plus Fabio, also Elena’s best friend, hates Antonio because he is openly homophobic.
Initially, between Elena and Antonio, there is physical attraction and this is the first real turbulence in Elena’s life.
Everyone will have to deal with the unexpected in a sudden storm of passion that changes all the rules of the game
of their relationships. However this will not be the only turbulence in Elena’s life...

Pierre has been married for 15 years and has two kids. He still loves his wife and is fulfilled in his role as father.
Overall, he’s a contented man.
Until one evening, he meets Elsa. They chat, laugh, and joke around in a way that doesn’t happen every day.
Two weeks later, they run into each other again by chance. The same easy mutual attraction they felt for one another
is just as strong, and they tell each other as much. A line has been crossed. But Elsa has a golden rule never to
get involved with married men, and Pierre wants to remain faithful. They go their separate ways without swapping
phone numbers, preferring to let life take its own course.
As the line blurs between how they imagine their relationship and what has actually happened, their fantasies start
to mingle with reality.
But can the life you lead and the life you dream of ever become one?

1720. After the wreck of his ships, a financially-ruined merchant exiles himself in the countryside with his six children.
Among them is Beauty, his youngest daughter, a joyful girl full of grace. One day, during an arduous journey, the
merchant stumbles across the magical domain of the Beast, who sentences him to death for stealing a rose.
Feeling responsible for the terrible fate which has befallen her family, Beauty decides to sacrifice herself and take
her father’s place. At the Beast’s castle, it is not death that awaits Beauty, but a strange life in which fantastical
moments mingle with gaiety and melancholy. Every night, at dinner, Beauty and the Beast sit down together.
They learn about each other, taming one another like two strangers who are total opposites. When she has to
repulse his amorous advances, Beauty tries to pierce the mysteries of the Beast and his domain. And when night
falls, the Beast’s past is revealed to her bit by bit in her dreams. It is a tragic story, which tells her that this solitary
and fearsome being was once a majestic prince. Armed with her courage, ignoring every danger, and opening her
heart, Beauty manages to release the Beast from his curse. And in doing so, she discovers true love.

based on the book PALO ALTO STORIES
by James Franco
Trapped in sheltered suburban affluence, Teddy, April, Fred and Emily search for both cheap thrills and meaningful
connection. Aided by plentiful doses of alcohol, drugs and sex, they stumble precariously through tree-lined cul-de-sacs
as they struggle to understand their own confused emotions.
Adapted from James Franco’s first collection of short stories, Gia Coppola’s startling film captures the loneliness and frustration
of fragile adolescents left to flounder among real-world perils. However, Coppola also poignantly hints at the capacity for
wonder that comes with their vulnerability — if only they can avoid driving head long into the dangers all around.

his double, Adam tracks down Anthony, an actor living with his pregnant wife Helen (Sarah Gadon) and engages him
in a complex and dangerous struggle.

Julien is 17, has a great sense of humor, bags of charm, and is wheelchair-bound due to cerebral palsy.
Despite their love for him, his family is gradually falling apart under the strain of dealing with his disability. In a bid
to bond with his father, Julien challenges him to participate with him in the Ironman race in Nice (French Riviera), a
triathlon in which his father has previously competed.
This trial is already exceptional, but it becomes almost impossible if one has to help a disabled youth throughout the
course. Beyond the sporting exploit, this is the story of one family’s exemplary combat, and a moving portrait of the
love between a father and his son.

After the phenomenal success of « Welcome to the Sticks »,
which generated more than USD 200M$ worldwide, the crowd pleasing
duo Kad Merad and Dany Boon meet again for a new comedy!
Romain Faubert is alone going on 40, has no wife and no children. His profession as a photographer for an online medical dictionary
does nothing to alleviate his acute hypochondria, which for too long has been the ruling element in his life, reducing him to a bundle
of fear and neuroses. The internet elicits compulsive Google searches that start out with little aches and pains and inevitably wind up
with results on metastasized cancer. This does little to assuage his phobias about germs and disease.
His one and only friend is his general practitioner, Dr. Dimitri Zvenka, who upon first meeting Romain made the fatal error of actually
liking him - a state of affairs he now bitterly regrets. Romains psychosomatic problems are an endless source of trouble and Dimitri
would give anything to get rid of him once and for all, especially now that he has become quite the intrusive patient. Romain often
invites himself to sleep over at Dimitri’s house, which is really starting to get on the nerves of the doctor’s wife.
However, Dr. Zvenka thinks he’s found a remedy, one that will usher Romain Faubert out of the door forever - help him find the woman
of his dreams. He invites him to parties, signs him up for online dating, gets him to work out and even coaches him on his seduction
techniques and ways to interact with women. But finding that rare jewel, someone who can tolerate his idiosyncrasies and who, out
of love, will help him overcome his hypochondria, turns out to be more of a challenge than it first seemed.

daughters with her.
But when the Generale decides to organize a grand ball to find a husband for her daughter, things turn out badly
for Jacky. Mistreated by his aunt’s family, he slowly sees his dream fading away.

By Abel Lanzac and Christophe Blain
Editions DARGAUD
Alexandre Taillard de Vorms is tall and impressive, a man with style, attractive to women. He also happens to be the Minister
of Foreign Affairs for the land of enlightenment: France. With his silver mane and tanned, athletic body, he stalks the world
stage, from the floor of the United Nations in New York to the powder keg of Oubanga. There, he calls on the powerful and
invokes the mighty to bring peace, to calm the trigger-happy, and to cement his aura of Nobel Peace Prize winner-in-waiting.
Alexandre Taillard de Vorms is a force to be reckoned with, waging his own war backed up by the holy trinity of diplomatic
concepts: legitimacy, lucidity and efficacy. He takes on American neo-cons, corrupt Russians and money-grabbing Chinese.
Perhaps the world doesn’t deserve France’s magnanimousness, but his art would be wasted if just restricted to home turf.
Enter the young Arthur Vlaminck, graduate of the elite National School of Administration, who is hired as head of “language” at
the foreign ministry. In other words, he is to write the minister’s speeches. But he also has to learn to deal with the sensibilities
of the boss and his entourage, and find his way between the private secretary and the special advisors who stalk the corridors
of the Quai d’Orsay – the ministry’s home – where stress, ambition and dirty dealing are the daily currency. But just as he thinks
he can influence the fate of the world, everything seems threatened by the inertia of the technocrats.

Paul is in his thirties and lives in a Paris apartment with his aunts, a pair of elderly aristocrats who have raised him
since the age of two, and who dream of him becoming a piano virtuoso. His life boils down to a daily routine spent
at the grand piano in the salon, and his aunts’ dance classes where he works as an accompanist. Cut off from the
outside world, Paul has grown old without ever having lived.
That is, until the day he meets Madame Proust, a neighbor who lives on the fourth floor. This eccentric lady knows
how to make a herbal infusion which, when combined with music, can stir the most repressed of memories.
Thanks to her, Paul will discover the secret of his own past, and find the key to finally unlock his life.

There is something strange - some would even say abnormal - about the Malaussène family. But if you take a

one romantic adventure or another.
Life is never a bore for Benjamin Malaussène, professional scapegoat and the older brother responsible for this
horde of kids. But when incidents happen wherever he goes, police and colleagues begin to eye him suspiciously.
It soon becomes a matter of life and death to find out what is going on and who is so interested in ruining his life.

ROCK THE CASBAH is a bittersweet comedy that plays out around a funeral. Over the three days of mourning called
for by Moroccan tradition, the family gathers in the deceased’s villa to look back on their memories and share the loss
of the dearly departed father and husband. It’s summer, but the beach is out of bounds and bathing suits are swapped
for djellabas as the mainly female household comes together in a show of grief and anguish.
But when the youngest daughter Sofia arrives, sparks start to fly. She left to start a new life in America against her
father’s wishes, becoming an actress. But she only ever lands roles as terrorists in TV series. Her return to the family
home is the occasion to settle a few scores. Secrets come out, throwing the order once maintained by the patriarch
into turmoil. Between tears and laughter, a collective hysteria leads each of the women to face up to some home truths.

In the fervour and exaltation of the beginning of the War, Demachy,
still a student, answers the call of his country. He meets Sulphart,
Bréval, Bouffioux and the others, former worker, baker, cook, from
now on united as soldier. Together, they will laugh, together they will
fight, together they will lose hope, drowned under a storm of fire,
steel and absurdity. In the misty trenches disfigured by cannons,
the soldiers face the awfulness of daily life, the heartbreaking longlasting post, the terror of hidden mines, the falling comrades. As
wooden crosses begin to blossom on the open-­air graves, Demachy
ends up losing sight of his ideals.

Four films shot between 1915 and 1917 which combine fiction and the reality of war. Les Petits Soldats de plomb and Noël de
Guerre, whose protagonist is a child, both paint a portrait of civilian society in times of war: deprivations and hopes, solidarity
and the wait for the return of the men from the war front. Le Passeur de l’Yser recounts the Battle of the Yser (1914) through
the destiny of ordinary people whose common sense compels them to perform acts of heroism. Pour le pays is a film on
industrial espionage that is played out between British industrials, a French inventor and a German banker.
