Two young men, Jeremy and Bild, find themselves in a strange land which
could be a million miles from the urban jungle they are used to.
Here they come across a community of a few dozen people who are living
in perfect harmony with nature. Bild is here to find his
long-lost mother, whom he believes to have founded this happy
community. Things are not quite what they seem, however, even in
paradise...

The best French war films ever made
For a nation that was badly scarred by both World Wars, is it so surprising that some of the most profound and poignant war films were made in France?
From Jean Renoir to François Truffaut, French cinema has no shortage of truly great filmmakers, each bringing a unique approach to the art of filmmaking.
In the 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
Continental Films, quality cinema under the Nazi Occupation
At the time of the Nazi Occupation of France during WWII, the German-run company Continental produced some of the finest films made in France in the 1940s.
