Two middle-aged friends meet a beautiful woman whom they set out to seduce. She invites them but only has eyes for one man: François Mitterrand.
A scientific trip that is both rigorous and licentious! This disturbing exploration of our "states" shows by example what our emotions owe to the chemistry of the body ... Where have scientific studies of sexuality gotten to? We already knew that seduction is a game that defies all verbal representation. In this area, it is the body that expresses itself above all. However, it is difficult to admit that hormonal secretions play a role in the phenomenon of love at first sight! Psychiatrists, ethologists and biochemists analyze here the intricate relations of amorous feelings and chemical changes in the body. Two hundred and fifty substances come into play at different stages of the process! A clear teaching approach, illustrated, without false modesty, by a couple. From waiting to meet, from desire to weariness.

Le Mondain
In the 19th century, children -- particularly the children of the poor -- were considered to be an exploitable resource of docile and cheap labor. Anyone who had the effrontery to steal so much as a portion of a loaf of bread for any reason would (at the very least) go to prison, regardless of their age. However, people of conscience were beginning to protest against this situation. The story takes place in a prison for children where conditions are particularly harsh. The warden is a thick-headed martinet who demands complete compliance with the rules, or the children will be brutally dealt with. The assistant warden is a more modern man, and is appalled by the whole institution, but seeks to begin by reforming it. To that end, he has invited a journalist to come and see the conditions that prevail there, in the hopes that she will rouse public opinion against at least this one form of injustice.
