Beating Hearts

Jackie and Clotaire grow up at the same high school, around the same harbour docks. She studies, he bunks off. Their paths cross, and they fall madly in love. Life tries its best to keep them apart, but they are like two halves of the same heart.

All Your Faces

Since 2014, France's restorative justice programmes have offered a safe space for supervised dialogue between offenders and victims. Grégoire, Nawelle, and Sabine, victims of heists and violent robberies, agree to join one of these discussion groups alongside offenders Nassim, Issa, and Thomas, all convicted of violent robberies. Meanwhile Chloé, a victim of childhood sexual abuse, prepares for dialogue with her own agressor after learning he has moved back into town.
