Parisian authorities clash with the Front de Libération Nationale (FLN) in director Alain Tasma’s recounting of one of the darkest moments of the Algerian War of Independence. As the war wound to a close and violence persisted in the streets of Paris, the FLN and its supporters adopted the tactic of murdering French policemen in hopes of forcing a withdrawal. When French law enforcement retaliated by brutalizing Algerians and imposing a strict curfew, the FLN organizes a peaceful demonstration that drew over 11,000 supporters, resulting in an order from the Paris police chief to take brutal countermeasures. Told through the eyes of both French policemen as well as Algerian protestors, Tasma’s film attempts to get to the root of the tragedy by presenting both sides of the story.

Marcel Proust (1871-1922) está en su lecho de muerte. Ver fotografías trae recuerdos de su infancia, su juventud, sus amantes y la forma en que la Gran Guerra puso fin a un estrato social. Sus recuerdos no están en un orden particular, se mueven hacia adelante y hacia atrás en el tiempo. Marcel en varias edades interactúa con Odette, con la bella Gilberte y su marido condenado, con el barón de Charlus que busca el placer, con la amante de Marcel Albertine y con otros; presentes también en la memoria están la querida madre y abuela de Marcel. Parece como si vivir es recordar y capturar recuerdos es crear una obra de gran arte. Los recuerdos son paralelos al volumen final de la novela de Proust.

In this film, director Rene Feret tells the story of his parents' lives. In 1935 his mother Aline works in her parents' cafe in a mining town in northern France. There, she meets a customer, Pierre and decides she is going to marry him. In a reversal of roles, she is the one who proposes to him, and she also engineers a false pregnancy to persuade her parents to okay the match. With a few stops along the way, the story picks up after the war with the birth of the couple's third son, who is given the name Rene in memory of their first, dead son. Never rich, they achieve some level of financial stability just as their sons are about to head off to the city for college.
