Following an operation that ended badly, Kepler was transferred to a small police station in Calais, Northern France. He has a desk job there and has ruled out going back into the field and risking a relapse. But he has not reckoned with the situation in Calais, a very different kind of city, and the death of girl whose body is found on the site of the refugee «Jungle». So Kepler is forced to confront his worst fear: getting back out on the street and investigating. He teams up with Alice, a local cop who hates migrants even though she herself comes from an immigrant background. To find the killer, Kepler will have to risk his new life, his family and his mental health.

APOCALYPSE, NEVER ENDING WAR

Apocalypse, Never-Ending War (2x45’), produced by CC&C, tells the story of the years of precariousness and conflict that follow WWI, the collapse of empires, and the fateful rise of totalitarianism. Years that foretell the coming of another disastrous world war. At the end of this ‘total war’ those who’ve survived come to realize the world of the past century has now disappeared into an abyss of suffering.

 

THE SECRET LIFE OF THE GARDEN

The documentary The Secret life of the garden (52'), produced by MFP, involves the garden, home to thousands of creatures, with hundreds of tiny dramas playing out as part of a wider story – that of an ecosystem guided by the imagination of a creator, the gardener. Day and night, winter and summer, insects,birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians seek refuge in the garden, feeding, hunting, and reproducing. Out of sight, they co-exist, sometimes clashing, sometimes helping one another. This film provides a unique insight into the stunning, wild biodiversity that many gardeners are unaware of, yet which exists just outside their door. 

 

2 DEGREES, THREATS TO THE PARIS AGREEMENT

The documentary  (70’), produced by Siècle Productions, addresses current issues relating to climat. It looks behind the scenes with the special eyewitnesses we were able to meet, first and foremost Laurent Fabius, the man behind the Agreement. Throughout, it seeks to recreate the tensions, constant suspense, complications and dramatic twists of the intricate, unfamiliar and yet essential negotiations, all set against the background of a climate emergency where more bad news is announced every day. Our intention is to reveal what went on away from the public eye during the climate war for the Paris Agreement, with its various characters and ticking clock. The vital story that unfolded before our eyes and, of course, events in the wings.
