La part de l'autre
Two twin brothers, Romain and Sylvain, live together in an isolated house by the ocean. Between them, violent relationships that oscillate between love and hate. The guardians of the house watch, fascinated and powerless, their dangerous games. Until the day when Hélène, who has already lived with them, returns to look for Sylvain, with whom she has chosen to live.
The Insomniac on the Bridge
This quickly-filmed avant-garde farce by prolific director Raul Ruiz features an insomniac (Michel Lonsdale) whose main preoccupation is surreptitiously watching private matters -- he is a voyeur. He and an equally disreputable acquaintance rape a woman alongside the Seine, a crime made all the worse because she is pregnant. The rest of this slow-paced film deals with the consequences of that action.

The Sailor
La película comienza con una premisa: un estudiante debe salir de Francia pues ha cometido una ilegalidad, un marinero le ofrece su puesto en un buque mercante que está por zarpar, pero a cambio de que escuche su historia. A partir de ahí, el relato no arranca verdaderamente, sino que explota, estalla en múltiples relatos de la vida del marinero y sus encuentros con diversos personajes (un ciego, una bailarina, un hombre de 90 años, un intelectual, entre otros).
