S2.E5 ∙ Kurt Masur

Four young men - Roee, Justin, Elfar and Houcine - from four different countries - Israel, The US, Russia and France - are about to enlist in the army. The four stories in the film offer a compelling peek into the private and emotional lives of enlistees, whether entering compulsory or voluntary service. The story of enlistment is never just a personal story; it is the story of the power that countries, societies and ideologies have on people. This cinema verite look at impending military service uncovers the subtle techniques and strategies which encourage ideas of manliness and service to country, and the willingness to forgo personal freedoms in the name of Country.

A short documentary satire about a 57 year old woman who is one pill away from self destruction. Her life takes an upward turn when she turns her passion for dogs into a new vocation as a dog life coach.

At the center of the narration is the story of the rape that the painter Agostino Tassi committed against the very young painter Artemisia Gentileschi and above all the process that followed. The narrative is strictly based on the minutes of the trial which are still at our disposal. Adherence to the historical documentation is so scrupulous that, without fear of error, it can be said that there is not a single sentence uttered by Artemisia or Tassi in the film that was not actually pronounced during the trial.
