Summary:
Nénette: Born in the jungles of Borneo, Nénette is a 40-year-old orangutan, and the oldest (and most beloved) inhabitant at the Menagerie du Jardin des Plantes in Paris. A captivating study of an energetic animal and our relationship to her. Animals: Follow the restoration of the Zoological Department at the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris in 1992. Être et avoir: A charming and intimate portrait of a single-class primary school in rural France and its inspirational teacher. Ville Louvre: A rare backstage look inside one of the world's most famous museums, The Louvre. As staff hang paintings and reorganize rooms, we discover a city within a city: miles of underground passages, reserves containing thousands of priceless treasures and chambers off-limits to tourists. Retour en Normandie: Thirty years after working on a film based on a 19th century murder, the filmmaker returns to the scene of the film, and murder, to see what has become of the actors, who were actually residents of the region.
