- If Japan is renowned for its rituals and refinement, one of its arts has seen its reputation tainted by scandal and has gradually sunk into oblivion: horimono tattooing. For a long time, these ink drawings were reputed to provide wearers with magical protection. They eased the fears of fishermen heading out to sea, gave heart to firefighters battling flames and strength to workers perched on the highest scaffolding. Outlawed in the mid-19th century, the horimono was then taken over by the yakuza mafia gangs, becoming a symbol of terror. Today, a handful of enthusiasts have set about restoring this tradition to its former glory. Masters of this art, born in the 17th century, open the doors of their workshops.
- A personal essay about the United States, viewed through the life and work of a movie actor. Henry Fonda and the roles he played merge into a dazzling and conflicted figure.

It takes many places and times and characters to imagine an invisible republic - the United States of Fonda.

- A star dancer at the Cambodian royal court lovingly raises her husband's little brother as her own son. Decades later, as a forced laborer under the oppressive rule of Khmer Rouge, she discovers that her foster son is none other than Pol Pot. The mass purges of the regime (spanning from 1975 to 1979 - Pol Pot annihilated 25% of Cambodia's population) are intertwined with painful memories of the relatives of the bloodthirsty dictator, who today stage an impressive dance performance depicting an encounter between the leader of the Khmer Rouge and his foster mother. In this stunning documentary, valuable archival material is seamlessly combined with the images of the dancers, the traditional costumes, and the descriptions of the deep significance behind this major cultural expression of the Cambodian people, offering a flawless outcome, one that is profoundly melancholic, beautiful, and yet at the same time tragic. Art serves as pain relief for the greatest open wounds of History.
