- The first cultural act of Mozambique's government right after independence, in 1975, was creating the National Institute of Cinema [NIC]. The new President, Samora Machel, had a strong conscience of the cinematic potential while creating an image for a new socialist nation. All over the country, cinema road units were screening NIC's most popular production, a newsreel untitled Kuxa Kanema, which means The Birth of Cinema. People's Republic of Mozambique became the Republic of Mozambique and NIC, once a great enterprise, was reduced to abandoned rooms and corridors, where the staff stood patiently waiting for retirement. The building was destroyed by a fire back in 1991, and the visual documents that witness the first eleven years of independence - the years of the socialist revolution - were rotting in an out-building, and about to be forgotten. From these and other living testimonies, we will recover the path of a nation's ideal, which has fallen apart, day by day, together with "one cinema for the people", and with the dreams from those who believed that Mozambique could one day become a different country.

- People keep on saying that masturbation makes you deaf, to the extent that no one dares to have an opinion on the matter anymore... Using fiction to show two young, modern people afraid of nothing, this film deals with "self-pleasure" and its numerous representations. Manu and Emma, our two heroes, exchange their impressions on the blog "M... la maudite" whose colourful layout inspires all kinds of fantasies. Emma publishes her interviews with writers, philosophers, artists and doctors who provide a historical overview of the subject. Manu, novice philosopher, answers. To back up their words, the director Jean-Paul Fargier leads us on a highly eclectic journey through art: from the elegant works of Rodin, Klimt and Schiele to Dali's fantastical ravings, from the provocative performances of the 1970s to the controversial stage productions of Jan Fabre, from the realism of certain fiction works to modern comedies devoid of all hang-ups, all the way up to the now commonplace sex toys... These intersecting views of self-pleasure show that masturbation continues to be an artistic and ideological issue.
