The film Announcements paints the portraits of seven women reflecting on the same theme. Their starting point is the announcement to Hagar, Sarah and Mary as in the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Koran. Their thoughts spread out and weave a new web, drawing strands from their associations and interpretations of these texts. And by talking about their own history, their personal myths, they work up to subjects such as the birth of image in the Christian world or that of poetry in ancient Greece. Announcements is a film about the movement of thought, the power of words, the secret of the voice, and the seduction of the image.

В меняющейся Европе исчезают границы, появляются новые независимые республики и государства. Полни и Челорек - два сельскохозяйственных рабочих из восточно-европейской страны приехали в Париж на поезде, на котором собирались и вернуться домой. Но никто из них не знает, где находится их страна, а так как у них украли деньги и документы, то и идентифицировать их невозможно. Два скромных иностранца блуждают по враждебному Парижу в поисках помощи, а в итоге вызывают хаос во французском правительстве, так как их ошибочно принимают за советских шпионов. Но единственное их желание - вернуться домой в Пражевитцу, страну, которая видимо не существует.

In the 1890s, Father Adolf Daens goes to Aalst, a textile town where child labor is rife, pay and working conditions are horrible, the poor have no vote, and the Catholic church backs the petite bourgeoisie in oppressing workers. He writes a few columns for the Catholic paper, and soon workers are listening and the powerful are in an uproar. He's expelled from the Catholic party, so he starts the Christian Democrats and is elected to Parliament. After Rome disciplines him, he must choose between two callings, as priest and as champion of workers. In subplots, a courageous young woman falls in love with a socialist and survives a shop foreman's rape; children die; prelates play billiards.
