Waiting for Godot at De Gaulle
This is the Kafkaesque tale of how one man's loss of identity papers resulted in him being stranded at Charles de Gaulle airport for fifteen years. Without the necessary travel documents and with no proof of his refugee status, Mehran Mehran Karimi Naseri found himself caught in a bureaucratic nightmare, unable to escape his unique predicament. Now his ordeal is about to be made into a Steven Speilberg film, starring Tom Hanks. This beautifully-crafted and technically outstanding film is a beguiling look at one of Franc's more unusual celebrities.

Liselu Frey, aka 'Hunter Grandmother', is the oldest huntress. "I am proud when I bring an animal home. To me, it's an intense feeling", explains one huntress. Four very different women give an impressive account of what hunting brings to their lives.
