Seaside takes place in a small coastal town on the Bay of Somme. The year-round inhabitants find ways to make their lives work; Paul, a lifeguard in the summer, works at the grocery all winter. His mother, Rose (Ogier) likes to play the slots just about anytime; his girlfriend Marie works in the local factory - the town's biggest business - but watching the summertime vacationers each year just makes her increasingly curious about what else might be out there. From these and several other stories, aided by close, revealing observations, we see a community perched between transition and stasis.

Tanguy es un joven de 28 años brillante en sus estudios, encantador y seductor, que sigue viviendo en casa de sus padres. Los Guetz viven en plena armonía o, al menos, eso parece, porque realmente su madre, Edith, ya no aguanta a Tanguy, y no se siente nada orgullosa de sí misma por sentir un cierto rechazo hacia la carne de su carne. Afortunadamente, cuando termine su tesis de chino, Tanguy se instalará en Pekín. Por eso Edith cuenta los días y se comporta como una madre amantísima, sonriente por fuera, aunque rota por dentro. Pero el día que Tanguy anuncia que va a retrasar un año más su salida de la casa, Edith explota y, junto a su marido Paul, deciden empezar a hacer la vida imposible a su propio hijo.

What do you do if you are a reporter with a deadline and you are going blind? This French drama answers that question. Arnold is a crack television reporter assigned to cover an uprising in northern Sri Lanka. Recently he has suffered great headaches and his eyes have been tired. Before leaving he has a doctor check him and is appalled by the diagnosis that he is going blind. If he goes to Sri Lanka, the stress could hasten his loss of sight. If he does not go, he will lose the assignment to a rival reporter. Instead of going, he locks himself in his Paris apartment and creates the documentary from a combination of new and old video footage. He suffers through many emotional outbursts in the process. The highlight of his video is a scene in which he, using complex computer-work, "inserts" himself into Sri-Lankan street situation. Though the documentary is excellent, Arnold is crushed when his editor demands the scene be deleted from the film because it slows the film down.
