Frédéric Choffat

The world is on the verge of collapse. Climate crisis, loss of biodiversity, infertile soils, overpopulation... Frédéric Choffat's two children, 13 and 17 years old, confront him.

In 2009, in a small theater in Geneva, Switzerland, the film directors Marcel Ophuls and Jean-Luc Godard met for an unusual, surprisngly intimate and sometimes contentious dialogue with each other in front of a live audience. Luckily for us, it was filmed.

Once best friends, Alex and Bernardo are called to the Arizona desert by Jade, a woman they both loved but haven't seen in 10 years.

A young woman returns with her son to an isolated beach on the pacific coast in southern Mexico to find peace with her ghosts.

For several months after Hitler became chancellor in 1933, the Austrian polemist Karl Kraus denounced the horrors of the Nazi apparatus in a 360-page text. He particularly attacked the press, which he held responsible for the emergence of National Socialism. His text was a cry that no one wanted to hear at that time. Karl Kraus died in 1936. Did anyone hear him?

Geneva train station. A woman leaves for Marseilles to give a conference. A man is on his way to Berlin to discover his new born child. A young woman is off to live in Naples. When one person invites itself to take a seat next to someone else, a new reality can start off. Three people meeting, three life stories which switch on the platform of a railway station.
