- A documentary about the filmmaker's attempts to become pregnant in her late thirties.
- Alsace is the last of the liberated French territories. De facto annexed by the Third Reich in June 1940, it was placed under Nazi administration and brutally Germanized. From August 1942, the Alsatians were forcibly incorporated into the Wehrmacht and sent to the Russian front. The memory of this difficult moment is not easy; memory of the "malgré nous", many of whom perished in the Russian steppes. The Liberation of Strasbourg and Mulhouse took place at the end of November 1944. But that of the whole of Alsace was long. It was not until February 2, 1945, that Colmar welcomed the Allied troops and liberators.

But this guerrilla army could not have lasted long without the arrival of American troops. In mid-August, Allied General Patton, astonished by the efficiency of these mysterious F.F.I., turned his back on the Atlantic and headed for the Seine. With nearly 12,000 killed, the siege of Brest was the most important battle of the Liberation. From November 19, 1944, the F.F.I. fight hard to liberate the last pockets of German resistance - Lorient and Saint-Nazaire - until May 1945.

- "L'Invité Du Dimanche" (The Sunday Invitation) was an innovative program because it rehabilitated the live broadcast which had fallen into disuse since the advent of recorded programmes. A live which is not only a means of transmission, but also pretended, which does not show the event, but provoke it..., with all the risks that this implies, and the happy surprises - also called the "miracle" - which may result from this. The show was broadcast continuously on Sunday afternoons, allowing a meeting around a character. The Guest, for four hours, confronted his ideas, discovered a crush, a casual discussion.
- Joyful parades, spontaneous dancing parties, etc., after four years of fighting, suffering, deprivation, death, and despite its cities and its economy in ruins, France of 1944 is celebrating its rediscovered freedom. But these happy images should not obscure the harsh reality of the retaliation against the collaborators and the reconstruction to come. This film powerfully relates the political and economic history of France from 1940 to 1945. Let us remember: on May 12, 1940, the German air force attacked France via Belgium, from the 13th, the Germans defeated the French defense and enter Paris declared an "open city" on June 14. On June 17, Marshal Pétain asked for an armistice signed on July 22: the Vichy regime and the Occupation began, in other words, the dark years.

- The liberation of France in 1944 was a major military objective in the Allies' first major offensive. But in order to reduce Germany to the point of surrender, the Allied strategy would probably have proved to be insufficient without the will of the French people to free themselves of the occupiers through clandestine resistance movements. Due to the blend of a historian's respect for facts and human warmth, the film, made up of archive footage, puts us in the middle of the last battles for liberation.
- "Les Coulisses De L'Exploit" is a monthly French television program of sports information created by Jacques Goddet and Raymond Marcillac, and broadcast on RTF Television then on the first ORTF channel from December 13, 1961 to August 16, 1972.

We want to discover beings whose life is enriching, exhilarating; men who have performed deeds that can be offered to our admiration without reluctance."

- 199452mTV Episode"Nancy has a stiff neck": on August 14, 1944, at 7.15 pm, a coded message broadcast by the BBC in London warns the French Resistance of the imminent landing in Provence. This operation, called Dragoon (initially Operation Anvil), begins the next day, 70 days after the landing in Normandy. Operation Dragoon will consist for the allies (450,000 men, including about 250,000 Frenchmen) to grip the German occupier to force it to retreat.

On the French side, the colonial troops of the African Army are overwhelmingly represented, and as they landed in Provence under the orders of General de Lattre de Tassigny, will play a crucial role with the help of the local resistance. It is in particular these African regiments which will liberate Toulon and Marseilles at the end of August 1944.

- The French colonial empire (the French Overseas Territories) seems to have been forgotten at the start of WWII, before playing an important role from June 1940 to the end of 1944: Paris being occupied, the Vichy government being disputed, Brazzaville and Algiers were for a time the capitals of France. General De Gaulle, from London, launched his first broadcast to France on June 18, 1940, decided to set out to reconquer France with the Empire as a base. This film traces the situation between 1940 and 1945 in the Pacific (New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna, Polynesia) and the Atlantic (West Indies, Guyana, Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon).
- In 1944 the Southwest underwent its own separate liberation; there were several partisan movements and many organizations - the FTP, the Spanish republicans, the "armée secrète", the Jewish partisans - all carrying out periodic operations against the Germans.
