King Henri III gives famous couturier Pic Saint Jean-Julien Baronnet, Loup a crucial diplomatic mission. He must go to Spain to CEO make a magnificent gown for the wedding of the King's nephew to the daughter of a Spanish noble. The trouble is that the real creative brain behind Saint Loup’s outfit is his Moorish assistant, while his perfumer is a Marano Jew and his hairdresser is out, loud and very proud. And Catholic Spain, in the grip of the Inquisition, is no place for Arabs, Jews and homosexuals (Saint Loup is anything but heterosexual). To make matters worse, his secretary is an undercover Protestant plotting revenge for the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre and the father of the bride turns out to be the Chief Inquisitor of Cordoba...

When Maurice rides into town in his Aston Martin and designer suit, Zapetti, his mob and the corrupt local politicians are in trouble. But what if, behind the dyed hair and tinted contact lenses, Maurice and Armand are one and the same guy?

“To be a Baron, you have to move the least possible. Because each human is given an amount of step credit, and every step you take uses it up. That’s what sets us apart from the rest of the world: we, the Barons, know this fact from the start.” Mounir, my best friend, he wants us to stay Barons forever. But that doesn’t fit with my plan! My kick is to make people laugh. But my dad thinks «actor » is no job, not like bus driver, a real job with the monthly salary. I see you start to get it.... The thing is, to succeed, you need to leave the neighbourhood, but you can’t just walk away from it: you have to escape. And to escape, you have to make a run for it, and if you run, you’re not a Baron anymore. By the way, my name is Hassan !

MALE DOMINATION Director: Patric Jean Producer: Elzévir Films Documentary
A man murders 14 women, because they've taken the place of men in society. Through this extreme case the narrator subjectively sets out in search of what defines patriarchy in the Western world. What enables, organizes or justifies injustice and violence against women. It takes us through different countries, sketching the outline of a partially questioned male domination in which man nevertheless struggles to find his rightful place.

When not practicing archery in the forest, Mathieu tries to offer his love, which she is not prepared to receive. Let's try again: 7 times down, 8 times up!
