Description
A cry of hate and rebellion, the film is an adaptation of one of the
most famous and popular childhood novels in French literature: Hervé
Bazin’s Vipère au poing. Largely autobiographical and
told in a tragicomic tone, the film portrays the destructive, merciless,
yet ferociously funny, fight between a ten year old child and his
mother in the midst of a once well-to-do family in 1922. A coming
of age story, the film is an optimistic lesson of life, depicting
the conquest of freedom led by a child rebelling against the very
one who made him an artist and a great writer. |

Description
1936, and Europe is shaken by the Popular Front and the Spanish Civil
War. Fiodor, a young general in the Tsarist army who has taken refuge
in Paris, and his Greek wife, Arsinoé, play their part in the
general chaos. While she sympathizes with their communist neighbors,
he carries out secret missions, delighting in confusing those around
him. He makes no attempt to hide the fact that he is a spy, but conceals
the identity of his masters. Is he working for the White Russian anticommunists,
their Soviet counterparts, the Nazis or all these? Does he even know
himself, this man who loves his wife but seems ready to sacrifice
her in the name of a vile intrigue?
Loosely based on a real story, Triple Agent is a breathtaking spy
story and a moral tale about underhanded dealings and lying. Where
a couple’s life and the beginning of a world conflict cross,
a moving and intimate epic takes shape. |

Description 
To be "missing" is not necessarily to have died. That's
8-year-old Tom's opinion. His only thought is to find his mother,
who was last seen on a glacier of Mont Blanc five years before. When
he comes to spend the school year with his grandfather in the same
area, the little city boy is eager to move mountains. Tenacious, full
of curiosity and imagination, little Tom exposes one by one a number
of family secrets as, similarly, the glacier unearths pieces of the
Air India plane – the Malabar Princess – that crashed
into Mont Blanc fifty years before. With the help of his teacher,
Tom will get to the bottom of it all and finally learn the truth about
his mother. |
