Pierre VernierLa marquise d’Espard vit séparée de son mari et mène grand train, cependant que le marquis d'Espard vit confortablement mais modestement avec ses deux fils qu'il élève avec intelligence. Les ancêtres du marquis ayant dépouillé la famille Jeanrenaud de ses biens sous des prétextes religieux (les Jeanrenaud sont protestants), le marquis tient à réparer cette injustice. La marquise, de peur de perdre sa fortune, lance une assignation contre son mari. Le juge Popinot, très honnête, essaie de débroussailler l'affaire et commence une enquête d'où il ressort que la marquise exagère et ment. Il est à deux doigts de la confondre quand le dossier lui est retiré au profit du juge Camusot, beaucoup moins scrupuleux et beaucoup plus arriviste., 1h35

The movie The Toy talks about a little boy that’s trying to prove his father wrong by acting exactly like him. His father “buys” people and nothing can stop him from getting what he wants. His son does not see why he cannot do the same and decides to buy a man, who he encountered at the toy shop. The man he chose happened to be a journalist at his father’s newspaper. Gradually with the help of his “toy” the boy manages to prove his father’s wrong deeds by exposing them in the newspaper produced by him and his “toy”. Along this journey the boy establishes warm relationships with the man and refuses to stay with his father any longer. The message behind the story is that love matters more than money., 1h40

Abel Tiffauges (Malkovich) is a simple Frenchman at the start of World War II, who loves animals and children. The first part of the film recalls his childhood at a Catholic school for boys, in where he wishes to Saint Christopher that the school, which he sees as a prison, is burned down. By irony of fate, while Abel is being disciplined for spilling lamp oil on the chapel floor, his friend Nestor accidentally sets fire to the building, burning it down as he wished. From that day on, Abel is convinced that fate is on his side, and that it will protect him from anything., 1h36

Début septembre 1960, dans la Vallée de Chamonix à l'époque où de Gaulle est empêtré dans l'échec des négociations en pleine guerre d'Algérie. Un camp scout est installé entre Chamonix et Argentière. Huit de ces jeunes scouts, âgés de 12 à 16 ans, sont très dissipés et s'isolent fréquemment du camp pour jouer à des jeux parfois relativement dangereux. À titre punitif le chef de troupe du camp envoie les huit scouts en patrouille, les "Aigles", pour une randonnée de trois jours jusqu'au sommet du massif du Brévent (2 525 m d'altitude), où se trouve le refuge de la "Réserve des Aiguilles Rouges", et ils devront passer la nuit en bivouac avec une autre patrouille, les "Panthères", issue d'une autre troupe. Planning prévu : départ au lever du soleil depuis le presbytère de Chamonix, une distance de 12 km de marche jusqu'au sommet, puis retour, le tout dans les trois jours. Patrick, 16 ans, le plus âgé des huit, sera le chef de patrouille. Ses sept jeunes compagnons seront sous sa responsabilité. Mais tous ces adolescents sont d'origines et de milieux très différents, certains se détestent violemment et ne manquent pas de le montrer à chaque occasion, et la randonnée prend très vite l'allure d'une expédition où les relations entre les adolescents seront aussi éprouvantes que la montagne., 1h32
