- Summary:
- Hotel America: Hélène, a distracted anesthetist, almost runs down Gilles one evening on a Biarritz street. She is still numb from the drowning death earlier that year of her lover, a visionary architect. Gilles presses for a relationship, then backs away, deciding she could never love someone of lower class and limited prospects. But she does fall in love with him and gradually her depression eases. As she heals, he becomes obsessed with her lover's talents and his own limitations, behaving bizarrely and pushing her away.
- Hôtel des Amériques: A Biarritz, Gilles est accidentellement renversé par la voiture que conduit Hélène. Gilles va tenter d'aimer cette femme prisonnière d'un amour passé qui le fascine. Il erre dans la vie d'une fille à l'autre, d'un boulot à l'autre. Dans la vie, Gilles et Hélène traînent leur solitude.
- I don't kiss: A young man leaves his small town in southern France to discover Paris. Being inexperienced and naive, he must give up his dream of becoming an actor and prostitutes himself to men for money and survival. Throughout all these encounters, he keeps his innocence but becomes very emotionally detached.
- J'embrasse pas: L'histoire de Pierre qui vient de quitter son Sud-Ouest natal pour tenter fortune à Paris avec pour tout bagage un diplome de brancardier, et un vague désir de devenir acteur. Il va sombrer dans la prostitution.
- My favorite season: Set in beautiful southwest France and marked by the symbolic passage of seasons, this film explores the turbulent relationship between Emilie and her brother Antoine during a particularly emotional eruption of their long-time dysfunctional family.
- Ma saison préférée: Emilie, notaire de province qui mène une vie conjugale monotone auprès de son mari Bruno, et son frère Antoine, neurologue solitaire, se retrouvent, après plusieurs années, autour de leur mère Berthe, cardiaque. C'est l'occasion pour Emilie et Bruno, qui, enfants, vivaient une relation fusionnelle, de faire le point sur leurs existences.
- Wild reeds: A poignant coming-of-age story set in southwest France in 1962. Sensitive young François is uncertain of his sexuality as he finds himself more attracted to his classmate Serge than to his platonic girlfriend Maïté. An older boy, Henri, is drawn into the circle, further complicating relationships. Through their passage into adulthood, the four experience a series of sexual and political conflicts as they explore the mysteries of the human heart.
- Roseaux sauvages: En 1962, en pleine guerre d'Algérie, alors que les attentats OAS se multiplient, l'intrusion d'un garcon pied-noir exilé va bouleverser la vie paisible de l'internat du lycée où il est accueilli.
