- A man narrates his liaisons with three women. We only see what he sees: he remains off-screen and there are no dialogues, just his post-synchronised voice.
- The Grüninger case from Switzerland. This is a documentary about a police officer who showed civil courage back in the forties when he led many refugees fleeing German Nazi terror immigrate to Switzerland, although he was advised not to do so. Grüninger later was sued by the state of Switzerland, lost his job and died in the early seventies. The film constructs a just lawsuit with eye-witnesses and thus fully legitimates what Grüninger did.
- The works of the Prague-born writer Franz Kafka, which move between dream and nightmare, are an indisputable part of world literature.
- From political exile in France, Breyten Breytenbach came to South Africa in 1972 on a special visit to introduce his wife, Yolande, to his family and to the country of his heart. On this trip he was informed by the South African state that he would no longer be accepted into the country after his return to France. In 1975, however, Breytenbach made an illegal entrance to South Africa to recruit members to an anti-apartheid movement being set up outside the country. The security police became aware of his presence in the country and he was caught, interrogated and imprisoned in isolation in Pretoria. This poignantly told (auto)biography reveals the pain and the beauty of the life of a South African visionary, as he returns to his beloved country to travel his landscape of memory.
- In 1941, the writers Louis Aragon and Elsa Triolet fled the Nazi-occupied zone of France, arriving in Nice. There they met and befriended Henri Matisse. Aragon resolved to write a book about the grat painter, but it wasn't until 1970, just after Elsa's death, that he finally completed "Henri Matisse, roman".
