The little monsters who attend this school take full advantage of this situation, except Boloss, an intelligent, delicate and sensitive little monster, who just can’t abide by these rules, which seem a little unnatural to him. He would so much like to be a good boy and learn to read and write…

A Catalan family who fled the Spanish Civil War in 1938 is separated upon arrival in France. The mother and daughter are sent to a camp in Argeles, the father to a camp in Angouleme, from where he is then deported to the Mauthausen concentration camp. In 1975, the daughter, Angelita, is urgently summoned to her mother’s bedside in Barcelona, a city where the latter was never supposed to return after the war. Forty years of family life must be rewritten, as Spain witnesses the last days of the dictatorship (General Franco died in November 1975).Inspired by the family story of the illustrator, Eduard Torrents, and narrated by Denis Lapiere (Le Tour de Valse).
The incredible story of Carlitos Moreno Rodriguez, who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most powerful men in Barcelona in the 1960s. The prominent owner of a string of bars, the biggest printing works in Catalonia, and the highly influential daily newspaper “El Publico” was secretly involved in drug-trafficking and prostitution.
The backdrop? Barcelona under the repressive dictatorship or General Franco.
At last, Lucius Murena has returned to the palace. His memory is still shaky, but the drugs Lemuria had been forcing on him are gradually wearing off, as are Nero’s doubts about his friend’s involvement in the plot against him. The secrecy surrounding the identity of the Hydra, that fearsome warrior, however, bewilders the emperor, who is plagued by increasingly frequent delusions that are slowly driving him to the brink of madness. The shadow of the conspiracy, which continues to loom over Rome, also contributes to Nero’s wavering sanity: as the noose tightens, he offers Tigellinus, his ambitious henchman, full powers.
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape but the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other.
The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, “each the other’s world entire,” are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.
