Eden Is West (Eden à l'Ouest)
Drama
3
As in "The Odyssey," the Aegean Sea is the setting when our hero, Elias, sets out on his adventures. On the same waters, under the same sun and the same sky as the dawn of civilization. After countless incidents and accidents, a stopover in paradise and a sojourn in hell, the magical conclusion of his journey takes place in Paris. Paris, the shining city in the deepest dreams, in the most uncertain sleep of wanderers. EDEN IS WEST attempts to echo the path, the journey of those (once our fathers and mothers) who cross through lands, braving oceans and seas of uniforms, looking for a home. Elias' story is not that of Ulysses, nor is it Jean-Claude's or mine. But I see myself in Elias, a foreigner who is not foreign to me.

Pater
Drama

Vincent Lindon and Alain Cavalier are pals. Like father and son. They sip port in bars dreaming of a film they might make. Together. Then just once in a while, they don suit and tie. Play men of power. See how much trouble they can make. For a laugh. They tell a tall story, that's part really personal, part, well - just plain tall. Only, as ever at the movies, there's that excellent question no one can answer : is it really all make-believe? (Original Title: Pater)

She goes out for a while, leaving him in front of the bathroom mirror. And he does it. Just like that. As a game. Just to see the look on her face. Just to change something in their happy uneventful lives. When she comes back, she does not say anything.

Lille, at Christmas... Claire Gautier, 30, works in the claims department of an insurance company. She leads an uneventful life with her husband Fabrice and her young daughter Pauline... Claire gets to know Laurent Kessler, a veterinarian who consults her about a water damage claim. This is the first step in a story of love and fear. Laurent is a seductive man, or rather a compulsive "woman hunter". With Claire though things are different. Perhaps because the young woman has sensed the shadowy areas that he attempts to conceal. A climate of terror reigns in the city after the same man kills a number of women. Claire cannot help but make a connection between Laurent and the killer. Strangely, Claire grows closer to him as her suspicions become clearer.
