Synopsis

In a rural village of Ethnic Estonians in Abkhazia Georgia, Ivo (Lembit Ulfsak) and Margus (Elmo Nüganen) are the only who have not fled for Estonia after the outbreak of the 1992–1993 War in Abkhazia. Margos is waiting to leave until he can hopefully harvest his lucrative tangerine crop, while his friend Ivo is a carpenter who attempts to make enough wooden crates to hold all the unpicked tangerines. Ivo however doesn't reveal his reasons for staying. Two ominous Chechen soldiers show up and extort food from Ivo, but leave peacefully and with respect for a lone, elderly grandfather, who is only minding his own work. The soldiers however get into a firefight with Georgian soldiers in front of Margos' house, leaving only one alive from each side. Ahmed (Giorgi Nakashidze), a Chechen mercenary on the Abkhazian side, and Niko (Mikheil Meskhi), a Georgian volunteer, are both gravely wounded, and Ivo brings them into his home to nurse them back to health.

Solomon is a wise prophet selected as the crown prince by his father King David (Dawud in Islamic texts) when he was 9. Following Prophet David's death, Solomon succeeds to the crown and God appoints him as a prophet. Requesting from God the establishment of a divine kingdom, Solomon takes the wind under his command and jinns and demons under his control. Inviting rulers of the neighbouring lands to the monotheistic religion, Prophet Solomon continues his divine mission in as much as Balqis, the Queen of Sheba professes monotheism. At the end, while leaning on his cane, Solomon bids farewell to the world, and the jinns and demons get out of reign and return to their own world.

L'univers de Star Wars est amorcé avec le conflit entre la République galactique et la Confédération des systèmes indépendants, alliance de planètes séparatistes. Cette confédération entraîne des dirigeants de la République dans des affaires ingérables à cause des manigances du Chancelier Suprême Palpatine, chef d'État de la République, qui dit servir la démocratie tout en visant secrètement à établir un empire. Pour rétablir la paix, les Jedi combattent les ennemis de la République, sans savoir que les deux camps sont manipulés par les Seigneurs Sith (Palpatine étant en réalité le Seigneur Sith Dark Sidious). Les Jedi, comme les Sith, sont sensibles à la Force, une capacité d'origine physiologique qui permet à leurs détenteurs d'acquérir certains pouvoirs surnaturels.

Pour le bicentenaire de Waterloo, un docu-fiction haletant révèle les derniers secrets d’une bataille aussi célèbre que chaotique. Retour sur l’ultime déroute de Napoléon. Le 18 juin 1815, se déroule une bataille majuscule, de celles qui marquent les changements d’époque. Après Waterloo, Napoléon sera contraint d’abdiquer, la France perdra à tout jamais son statut de première puissance mondiale et l’Empire britannique connaîtra un nouvel essor. Des conséquences incalculables pour ce maelstrom chaotique qui aura duré une journée seulement, et causé la mort de 11 000 soldats et fait 35 000 blessés. En lançant ses 120 000 grognards à l’assaut des troupes britanniques et prussiennes qui, près de deux fois plus nombreuses, menacent la France par le nord, Napoléon espérait pourtant que Waterloo apparaisse comme son "chef-d’œuvre, la bataille des batailles". Mais, fatigué et peu inspiré, l’Empereur se heurte à l’habileté tactique du duc de Wellington et du maréchal Blücher.
