Sugar is pure pleasure. The problem is that
we love it so much that it’s easy to become
addict... the note then paid by the body is
quite indigestible! Besides calories, the big
problem is that sugar contributes greatly
to make us fat. With as consequences : risks of obesity and diabetes. A disease
that has become in recent years an epidemic in our countries. And that's not
all! The consequences of high sugar consumption would be bad for the brain ...
How to get out without being frustrated? Natural sweeteners may be part of

Helmut (70) has convinced himself that he
is the literal king of the housing project
where he spends the last and lonely days of
his life. Clara (16) just moved into the
apartment next door after being kicked
out by her mom. She is not exactly enthusiastic about either her dead-end job
at the cash register of a supermarket or her new home. But while Clara
struggles with low self-esteem, Helmut discovers something special in his
new neighbour - in his mind Clara is the long foretold successor to his throne
and needs to be groomed to be a princess.

During a stormy night of grave political crisis, an
expert interpreter suffers a nervous breakdown.
Young diplomat Konrad Gelb is recruited to step in
and interpret between the two conflicting superpower
leaders, who seem to hold the fate of humanity in
their hands - an absurd responsibility, which by
extension rests on the shoulders of the young
interpreter. He must balance the oversized egos in the room and maneuver
the world's destiny to either peaceful resolution or total annihilation.
