Noted French filmmaker Laurence Ferreira Barbosa directs this loosely-structured triptych about a trio of unconnected people who struggle through the loneliness of their lives. Impetuous 17-year-old Marguerite (Lolita Chammah), who feels cut off from both her family and classmates, passes the time by talking to God. Eventually, she decides to enter a convent. Meanwhile, housewife Claire (Isabelle Hubbert) is frustrated after ten years of childless marriage. While going to visit a fertility expert in Paris, she happens upon an old lover, gets picked up by some guy at a bar and has a bizarre encounter with an America singer (Robert Kramer). Meantime, Jacques (Frederic Pierrot) is divorced, unemployed, and loathed by his daughter. Just as his life looks one long exercise in desperate futility, he meets comely Eva (Juliette Andrea). Suddenly, he transforms himself into a private dick, trying to track down a missing associate. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Treading the slim line between fact and fiction, this docudrama enacts fictional scenes of government violations of human rights based on the truth as the director and writer Stanislav Stanojevic sees it. He has arbitrarily chosen a date of November 10, 1983 and taken a peek at individual cases of repression. In Montevideo, plain clothes policemen murder a man then make it look like a suicide; in Zaire a man is arrested by mistake and then killed to cover up the mistake; and in Prague, a political dissident just released from prison is treated like a pariah. Along with these fictional cases are stories of people trying to change the situation -- from a farmer in France to a West German traveler and an Englishman in Geneva, these "nobodies" have a limited influence, perhaps because they are working alone. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
