Katrine Boorman, l’une des quatre enfants issus du premier mariage de John Boorman avec la costumière allemande Christel Kruse, retrouve apparemment son père après la séparation de celui-ci avec sa seconde épouse. Katrine interroge John Boorman sur ses souvenirs de cinéma, sa conception du métier et sur sa vie familiale. Le tournage s’étant effectué durant plusieurs années, le cinéaste apparaît sous différents jours, tantôt sérieux et docte, puis drôle et taquin, et enfin émouvant lorsqu’il se remémore sa relation avec Telsche, « sa fille préférée » disparue. Katrine, les jumeaux Charley et Daisy, chacun vient témoigner, soit à propos de ses prestations dans les films du père ou de ses rapports personnels. Christel Kruse-Boorman apporte sa contribution en louant notamment « l’intelligence » de Lee Marvin, acteur du Point de non-retour qui expédia par la fenêtre le premier (mauvais) scénario du film pour donner carte blanche à John Boorman. Katrine a filmé le cinéaste à Londres ainsi que sans sa propriété irlandaise, puis à Paris où père et fille fleurissent la tombe de Telsche au cimetière de Montmartre.

Dix ans et demi, 1m39, les parents, les disputes, les amis, le premier amour, la rivalité, l'école, l'autorité, ces quelques kilos en trop... Autant de choses qui font le petit monde de César. Timide, il parle peu mais pense énormément. Et forcément, comme ses parents ne prennent pas le temps de lui raconter la réalité, il l'imagine...

In late 1944, the remnants of a platoon of German Panzergrenadiers from the Großdeutschland Division are caught in an ambush by American troops. In their retreat, they find a German bunker manned by elderly Pvt. Mirus (John Carlisle) and young Pvt. Neumann (Andrew-Lee Potts) who had been left to defend the bunker under orders from Area Command to wait until relieved. Schenke confronts Heydrich about why the group didn't counter-attack the Americans, claiming that there couldn't have been that many of them. Mirus expands on the history of the area, revealing that victims of the Black Plague were massacred on the orders of a stranger, who influenced the townspeople to turn against one another. Low on ammunition, the men are haunted by bad dreams, memories and the feeling that something about the area just isn't right.

Thomas Smithers (Postlethwaite), who has made his fortune in metalwork, hires Meneer Chrome (McGregor), a famous garden designer, to create the most extravagant garden imaginable out of his wild property. However, Chrome has already been employed by Fitzmaurice (Grant), the cousin of Smithers' wife Juliana (Scacchi), for the purpose of bankrupting Smithers. Fitzmaurice's purpose in this is to take back Juliana as his lover, but she becomes attracted to Chrome, who is falling in love with Anna, the Smithers' mysterious daughter. Anna, however, is contemptuous of Chrome (and, indeed, of everyone she meets, filtering them and everything else around her through the poems of Andrew Marvell); her parents subject her to numerous "treatments," thinking her mentally unstable and wishing to cure her.

Andy Bowman persuades her sister Laura to go on a trip to Burma after Laura’s husband and son are killed in a home invasion and Laura had gone into a deep depression. One night, unable to sleep because of nightmares, Laura leaves her hotel in Rangoon and gets caught up in an anti-government protest. She is very impressed by the bravery of Aung San Suu Kyi. When her tour group leaves the country, Laura cannot leave with them as her passport was stolen the previous night. While staying behind waiting for her new passport, she meets U Aung Ko, who acts as an unofficial tour guide and drives an ancient Chevy. He takes Laura out into the countryside to a Buddhist monastery. The car develops problems, but fortunately they are able to coast to the house of some of Ko’s friends and former students. Laura learns that Ko used to be a college professor, who was banned from teaching for supporting anti-government activity led by his former student Min Han. She has a breakdown and tells Ko what happened to her family. The next morning they learn that the 8888 uprising began the previous day. Ko takes Laura to a station to get train back to Rangoon. She sneaks on board, but the soldiers start beating Ko and when Min Han intervenes, Han is shot and killed. Laura gets Ko into the car and they leave, pursued by the soldiers, but Ko is shot and wounded. They end up crashing into the Irrawaddy river, but get away from the soldiers. They get on a raft taking bamboo to Rangoon. Laura, who is a doctor operates on Ko to remove the bullet. The next day the raft stops at a village. Laura goes to find drugs to treat Ko.
