- Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity has revolutionised our understanding of gravity, space and time. Initially acclaimed, then forgotten, and now rediscovered, the adventure of this hundred-year-old theory has marked the scientific history of the 20th century. From its inception, a mathematical difficulty arose that could have nipped the theory in the bud: the Schwarzschild singularity. In the company of great international relativistic physicists, the viewer embarks on a discovery of this theory with a singular destiny. We discover a "curved" universe that proves to be even stranger than Einstein had envisioned, and harbours some objects - such as black holes - that still challenge today's scientists.
- At the edge of our solar system, a mysterious giant planet is said to be hidden, with a mass equivalent to five times the Earth. The year there would last more than ten thousand years, so far from the Sun it orbits. Several teams of astronomers, including the Americans Chad Trujillo and Scott Sheppard, are relentlessly tracking down this hypothetical exile. With what clues? And why is it so difficult to detect? On the eve of the year 2000, the declassification of Pluto as the ninth planet, relegated to the status of "dwarf planet" following the discovery of a population of celestial objects of similar size, caused an earthquake in the astronomical community. The same people who were at the origin of this discovery are now the most persistent hunters of an elusive planet 9, like Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown.
- Here is the "lower-risk consumption room", the drug injection room that opened in October 2016 in a building at Lariboisière Hospital in Paris. A place that the film never quits, except for a few seconds out on a stretch of pavement, as the credits open. One or two shots are enough to establish the exterior and remind us of the hostility of some nearby residents - the glimpse of a board tied to a window: "No to the drug injection room".
