Synopsis
50-year-old Austrian woman Teresa is on holiday in a beach resort in Kenya. She encounters younger men and has sex with them. She worries whether they really find her attractive. Actually they are prostitutes, although they deny that they have had encounters with other white women and do not ask a fee for their services, but instead ask for financial support for relatives in need. Teresa's friends hire a male stripper for her birthday, who dances nude for them. They are disappointed that they do not succeed much in sexually arousing him. Later Teresa invites the bartender of her resort into her room and instructs him to kiss her genital area, which he politely declines. Angrily she tells him to get out.Actors

Ashanti is an action adventure film, set against the background of modern day slave trading, with a man who determinedly takes on a perilous journey in order to find his beautiful wife, who has been kidnapped by brutal slave traders. David and Anansa Linderby (Caine and Johnson respectively) are doctors with the World Health Organization. On a medical mission carrying out an inoculation programme, they visit a West African village. While David takes photographs of tribal dancers, Anansa goes swimming alone. She is attacked and abducted by slave traders led by Suleiman (Peter Ustinov), who mistake her for an Ashanti tribeswoman. The police can do nothing to find her and David has almost given up hope when he hears rumours that Anansa has been kidnapped by Sulieman to be sold to Arab Prince Hassan (Omar Sharif). The African authorities deny that the slave trade even exists. So David must find help in a shadowy world where the rescuers of slaves are just as ruthless as the traders themselves. As David tracks her across Africa and the Sahara desert, he is helped by a member of the Anti-Slavery League (Rex Harrison), a mercenary helicopter pilot (William Holden), and Malik (Kabir Bedi) a tribesman who is seeking revenge on Suleiman.

Math, Marie, JP et d'autres sont des lycéens de la capitale. La rue est leur terrain de jeu, surtout derrière le palais de Tokyo, où ils côtoient l'art sans le voir. Planche de skate dans une main, pétards et bières dans l'autre, ils se filment et se provoquent, se touchent et se trahissent. Dans leurs pulsions les plus extrêmes, certains d'entre eux se prostituent, d'autres se droguent. Ils draguent aussi sur internet. Issus de milieux aisés, ils ne sont pas moins victimes et symboles d'une jeunesse en perdition, livrée à elle-même dans un monde où sexe et argent sont rois, gaspillés ou non, et inéluctablement liés à des trajets familiaux chaotiques...
