BASED ON THE NOVEL BY
FRANCK THILLIEZ.
45-year-old Franck Sharko is a surly, loner
cop who can’t get over the death of his
daughter Eugenie, who appears to him
in taunting visions. It’s gotten even worse
with his latest investigation, a mysterious
case of missing children and a disturbing
1960s movie that spurs people who watch
it to commit bizarre and dangerous acts.
Detective Lucie Henebelle is a 35-year-old
single mom who joins forces with Sharko
after realizing events in her own past could
be tied to the case. The two beleaguered
inspectors will form an electrifying duo as
they conduct an investigation that leads
them from Morocco to Canada, shedding
light on dark and troubling scientific
experiments.

WHEN SAVING ONESELF
TAKES MORE COURAGE AND
STRENGTH THAN HELPING
OTHERS.
After the terrorist attacks on Brussels
Airport, Samira Laroussa, a strong-hearted,
half-Moroccan police woman, is missioned
to handle and return all baggage and
personal belongings that were left behind
in the departure hall that day. Every new
encounter with a victim or relative will
unbalance the seemingly strong Samira
who is far from ready to deal with the
pains of her own troubled past. Even so,
she perseveres in helping everyone. In
her blind determination, however, Samira
forgets one thing: herself. Lost Luggage is
a bittersweet story about finding solidarity,
love and hope, even in the most difficult
times.

In order to solve the brutal murder of a
young, German surfer, two police officers
are secretly deployed to the tourist paradise
of Hvide Sande on the Jutlandic west coast.

The Auguste Armand Institute is one of

precision and discipline are the mantras
of this renowned establishment run by a
team of talented and highly-respected
professionals. But food isn’t the only thing

where sharp tongues are as common as
sharp knives, and the kitchen isn’t the only
place where things get heated.
But for Maxime Delcourt and the rest of the
prestigious school’s students, the end goal
is clear: they are on a mission to become
France’s future Michelin-starred chefs.
And they won’t let anything – or anybody

her own sister… who she hasn’t seen in

Pierre Josset is a country veterinarian
who’s been practicing for several years
around the village of Valerande-les-Chan-

equipment and a muddy pair of boots and
mucky overalls. When he’s not out on the

revive since Pierre opened his practice in
the village where he was born 60 years
ago. And though most of its shops closed
down years ago along with the school,
Pierre is convinced his beloved village can
stay alive. But with the nearest doctor more
than 30 km away, it’s not easy to convince
young couples to stay around or to entice
city dwellers to move in.But fresh hopes
are kindled with the arrival of the young
family physician Emma Colin, whose me-
dical scholarship requires her to practice
for the first three years in a medical desert.

41Instagram: New
No Filter
INSTAGRAM: NO FILTER tells the story of
a popular and seemingly harmless video
application. But the so-called “happiness
app” has become a serious threat to the
emotional and psychological well-being
of the 1.5 billion people around the globe
who use it regularly.
The story of a tiny digital gadget that
started out as a happy-go-lucky game,
then slipped out of its maker’s control. The
story of an artsy app designed for weekend
photographers that has become a giant
cash cow that is changing behaviors and
standardizing cultural practices and norms
worldwide.
In March 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic
brusquely redefined the happiness
paradigm outlined by Instagram. Our
economy and culture would be deeply
impacted. After only a few short days,
there was a clear change in behavior and
codes on the app. And Instagram – the
mirror of our fast-changing world – would
never be the same again.
An enthralling tale that has unfolded
across the world over the past 10 years:
the success story and saga of the rapid-fire
evolution of Instagram since its creation in
2010.

43New Libya, Who Is
Sowing Chaos?
Ten years after Muammar al-Qadhafi was
ousted and executed by rebells backed
by France, the hopes of seeing a “Libyan
Spring” have gone up in smoke. A series
of civil wars has left the country fractured,
opening up cracks for foreign interests to
slip in and strengthen their grip. Paralyzed
by migration risks and jihadist threats,
Europe – and France in particular – have
failed to restore stability to a land perilously
close to its doorstep. Turkey and Russia have
seized their chance to move in and expand
their footprint in Libya, creating a lopsided
geopolitical balance. This geopolitical
investigation offers brand-new insight on
Libya, thanks to extraordinary documents
gathered inside the government itself and
direct access to sites where cameras are
rarely allowed to film.

Palace
It was Versailles before Versailles: a
spectacular palace home to 19 French
kings, built in the heart of Paris. A marvel
in architectural ambition and innovation.
It’s story spans 2000 years, beginning
with Jules Caesar’s invasion of Gaulle
and ending with Marie Antoinette’s
imprisonment in its dungeons as she
awaited execution. Ultimately paved
over by successive government buildings,
the palace would slowly be erased from
view and memory. Now, a team of young
experts known internationally for their 3D
models of monuments in peril will resurrect
the palace from its grave. What did this
palace look like? How was it constructed
and evolve over time? And why was it
suddenly abandoned?

46Afghanistan, 2021 Highlights
Paying the
Price for Peace
After 20 years of war, the U.S. and its
allies are about to hand Afghanistan over
to the Taliban, disregarding their promises
to defend human rights and democratic
advances and leaving Afghan civil society
all alone on the front line. Exclusive on-the-
ground investigations in high-danger
zones are put into perspective by candid
interviews with key actors, including:
Hamid Karzai, Afghan President from
2001 to 2014; Taliban spokesman Hail
Sheena; Barnett Rubin, Special Advisor
on Afghanistan to several U.S. presidents;
and Roland Bioko, European Union Special
Envoy for Afghanistan. Some of these
figures are hopeful, outlining positive
prospects. But whether they welcome
or fear the U.S. withdrawal, all of them
know it will shake up the political game
and power balance. The more pessimistic
analysts remind us that a tiny spark is all
it would take to reignite the civil war in
Afghanistan.
