- An extraordinary story of a young woman raised in Switzerland who travels back to Algeria, her birthplace, to meet and kill her natural mother, who abandoned her shortly after birth. Along the way, she is exposed to the brutality of desert life and, in particular, the abuses that men heap upon women in fundamentalist, third world countries. Birth, death and life in general, have little meaning as people struggle for survival. The scenery is stark but at the same time beautiful and the faces of the characters that she meet are marvelous. The film was made in Tunisia, as it does not cast a particularly good light on Algerian men and probably could not have gotten permission to be filmed in Algeria where Sharia is the law of the land.
- In a bar in Santiago, two old men talk over their past. This is a strange discussion. In fact, they talk of themselves as if they were dead. We don't know what is true or false, what is dream or reality.

- Moti, a 12-year-old Bengali boy, tells us about his country and how his life has been profoundly influenced by a chance encounter with Paul Danvin, a French ship captain. Paul is in the depths of depression. He has recently watched helplessly as a bunch of pirates looted and set fire to his ship, The Alhambra. He ends up in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Without the ship, the crew and his identity papers - which were stolen from him - Paul takes the train for the capital city of Dhaka where he crosses paths with Moti and his mother Alima.
