The Pelican
Paul has been imprisoned for ten years for passing counterfeit money. He feels victimized enough, both for the prison time and for the crime which led to it; he committed the crime to give his wife the nice things she asked him for. When he discovers that she has remarried a quite wealthy man, he is outraged. However, his ire is not due to her disloyalty to him; he loved their only son to distraction, and now the boy has no knowledge or memory of him.
Agathe
Twelve-year-old Mathieu is haunted by the death of his father, who died accidentally when he was two. On each anniversary of his death, the young boy becomes withdrawn and unusually taciturn. This attitude worries his grandmother, but not his mother, Agathe, a general practitioner, who prefers not to overreact. Things get complicated when Mathieu, fascinated by his history teacher's tales of cursed kings, decides to create his own family tree and convinces himself he is the descendant of a family of men who die young.
La bostella
Taking its title from a popular 1960s dance craze, this digital video comedy concerns the exploits of a particularly odd fictional talk-show host, portrayed by real-life French talk-show sensation Edouard Baer. Baer -- who also directed and co-wrote the film -- plays a sarcastic TV personality who decides to gather together the panel members from his live show before they shoot the program so that they have a chance to rehearse. To this end, the absurd group -- including a lawyer, a transvestite, and a grown woman who acts like a child -- rents a villa for a month. It doesn't take long for resentment to fester among the motley crew.

Toutes les filles sont folles
Céleste, la trentaine, n'a toujours pas rencontré le grand amour. Un jour, sur un coup de tête, elle décide d'enlever l'homme qu'elle croit idéal, forçant au passage Rosalie, sa soeur cadette, à la suivre dans sa combine. Mais dans la panique, Céleste va se tromper d'homme...
The 11 Commandments

Distressed to find that people aren't laughing anymore, He gives the six friends a mission: to save the world with the Eleven Commandments of the Joke. The men enthusiastically take on their task. They undertake various tests aimed at pushing the limits of stupidity.
The Torture of Silence
Hardly one of French filmmaker Abel Gance's masterpieces, The Torture of Silence nevertheless has more dramatic and psychological value than your average romantic-triangle tale. Simply put, the film concerns a doctor, his wife, and his brother. The doctor, a specialist in pediatrics, has no time for his wife Marthe. She seeks solace in the arms of his brother. Unable to keep up the charade, Marthe attempts to shoot herself, but it is her lover who is mortally wounded.
