- Come and visit an unusual, faraway world with us. You will experience both pleasant as well as cruel moments that the rough life of Lamalera whale hunters on the Indonesian island Lembata brings them. They are one of the last hunters on our planet that hunt in a traditional way not only whales but also dolphins and mantas. For centuries now, they have been going out on old wooden boats to fight unmerciful battles for life and death with the gigantic sperm whales using bamboo harpoons. It is not always a victorious battle. This dramatic document offers exciting moments as well as moments for contemplation about the uncertain future of this community whose survival depends not only on the courage but also on the luck of these last hunters.

In this powerful documentary directed by Jan's son, Jean Bodon uncovers the truth not only about Jan's wartime experiences, but also discovers that his father was secretly a Jew in a country which underwent one of the largest extermination campaigns of the war.

- Miroslav Broz's quixotic struggle to improve the status of the Roma in the Czech Republic has found expression in protests for the removal of a pig farm. The lack of participants in the planned blockade leads to frustration and lost hope for fulfilling the vision of a more active civil society.

- Love songs is a melodramatic fragment of several lives, intersected by a trace of their mutual past. The outline of this trace surfaces unobtrusively and incidentally throughout the principal episode of the film: Gabriel, a young man, visits a household he used to know very well at one time. Patient observation of the situation unwinds in shades of melancholy, sadness, but also hilarity and humor.
