DOCUMENTARY - 84 MINS What could be the quest of Alain Ducasse,

a culinary genius who has become a

gastronomic star?

The perfect flavour? The essence of nature?

The ideal dish? what could a man who

seems to have everything be looking for?

Alain Ducasse relentlessly travels the world

smelling, tasting, touching, inspecting and

scrutinising plants, materials and products.

What could this endlessly inquisitive man be

after as he visits gardens, markets, holes-

in-the-wall and the greatest restaurants

around the globe?

23 restaurants worldwide, 18 Michelin

stars, Alain Ducasse fearlessly continues

creating trendy new places, building

schools, writing books and launching

major projects.

To him, cooking is an endless universe

and a vision of the world. This public yet

very private man agreed to be followed

for nearly two years, opening the doors of

his ever-changing world up to us.

In his disappointment, he tries to contact the French President to make sure his village is not cut off from the rest of the country. But with no answer from the Elysée, Jeff sees only one solution to have his voice heard: Run for president himself.

Thanks to an unpredictable political climate, Jeff Tuche emerges as the surprise winner, so he and his family move into the Elysée Palace on a high-risk mission to govern France. Their motto: Liberty, Equality, Tuchity.

On the university campus he meets Jennifer, daughter of a renowned American financier.

Donald is in awe of her family, which is the total opposite of his own, so he feels compelled to lie about the Tuche clan, sure that the two families will never get to meet.

COMEDY - 88 MINSIt’s Julie’s birthday, but everyone seems to have forgotten… Then Marco, the man she secretly loves, calls her to say that he is going to drop off his son because his babysitter has stood him up.

Julie is distraught: everyone sees her as a maid. Alone with the particularly odious child, Julie decides to tell him the story of Cinderella… well, almost. Julie turns herself into Cinderella and Marco into the handsome prince.

Switching back and forth between the story and reality, the little boy makes the tale unfold according to his moods, humiliating Julie as he goes. By comparing the story to her personal experience, Julie ends up realizing that she was so in love with a fantasy that she was unable to see the man who was ideal for her.

COMEDY - 123 MINSFor Guillaume Canet, 43, life is as good as it gets. He has everything a man could want. Then, on set of a movie he is shooting, his beautiful, 20-year-old co-star stops him in his tracks by informing him that he is no longer "rock'n'roll." In fact, he never really was. The killer blow comes later when she adds that he has fallen way down the list of "bangable" actors. Guillaume's homebody lifestyle with Marion, their son, his horses and the house in the country give him a drippy, totally unsexy image. Guillaume realizes that radical changes must be made, and now. His friends and family can only watch in dismay as Guillaume's makeover goes much further than anyone ever imagined.

DRAMA - 105 MINSViceroy’s House in Delhi was the home of the British rulers of India. After 300 years, that rule was coming to an end. For 6 months in 1947, Lord Mountbatten, great grandson of Queen Victoria, assumed the post of the last Viceroy, charged with handing India back to its people. Mountbatten lived upstairs together with his wife and daughter. Downstairs lived their 500 Hindu, Muslim and Sikh servants.

As the political elite took their seats to wrangle over the birth of independent India, conflict erupted throughout the House and a catastrophic decision was taken with global repercussions. Partition - the decision to divide India and create the new Muslim homeland of Pakistan - led to the largest mass migration in human history.

The film is deeply personal to the director whose own family was caught up in the tragic events that unfolded as British rule came to an end. Her film examines those events through the prism of both a marriage - that of Louis and Edwina Mountbatten – and a romance - that between a young Hindu servant, Jeet, and his intended Muslim bride, Aalia. The young lovers find themselves caught up in the seismic end of Empire, in conflict with the Mountbattens and with their own communities, but never ever giving up hope…
