Contemporary France is boiling and bubbling with emotion. During the show, we offer you a trip into its less obvious corners – places and spheres of life that are worth exploring!

While watching “La charge mentale”, we will visit a French village to see how some French men – hoping to regain the respect of the community – take part in a wife-bearing race. With “2 ou 3 choses que je ne sais pas d’elle”, we will look at the suburbs of Brest through the eyes of an 18-year-old heroine who has recently donned the hijab. France has champions in practically every sport, and for many it is the best opportunity to change their social status for the better. Through the film “Tall”, we learn what France’s unique youth training system is all about and the sacrifices it entails. Finally, we will experience a bit of luxury with a certain young bodyguard (“Donovan escapes”), but unfortunately this will not last very long.
