30-year-old factory worker Simon lives a solitary existence on a decrepit farm in the remote French countryside. Devoting his time to caring for his sister Estelle, who was left severely disabled when a childhood game went horribly wrong, Simon is plagued by guilt and depression. But he sees a way out, looking to otherworldly forces as a means of liberating both himself and his sister from the corporeal prisons in which they are confined.

A Russian soldier returns from war service in Chechnya. Though greeted warmly by his family, he seems unable to adjust.

An anthology series centered around people who believe themselves to be the modern-day descendants of the Romanov family.
