The work of Emile Gallé (1846-1904) is one of the essential references in Art Nouveau. The master of the "Ecole de Nancy" was a glassmaker, a furniture designer, a ceramist, but also a committed humanist and a well-known botanist who has left an important scientific work.
Gallé studied and sketched Lorraine's flora with meticulous care. He found inspiration in the shapes, curves and details of some flowers, but also some insects to create vases and furniture. His inspiration also came from Japanese painting and more particularly from Hokusaï, whom he considers to be a progressive painter of decorative art.

Dans une maison jaune au cœur de Strasbourg, des gens venus de tous les coins du monde livrent par bribes leur espoir de trouver un refuge suite aux persécutions qui les ont fait basculer dans l'exil. Progressivement, une autre violence va se superposer à la violence passée : celle qu'on leur fait subir, ici, chez nous...
Twenty years after the historic call by Coluche on the French radio "Europe 1", the "Restaurants of Heart" still exist and became a true charitable institution. Shot in Strasbourg, during winter, the film shows volunteers who help poor people who receive goods to survive.
A man in the countryside, accompanied by his valet and his linen maid. Mister is ill, Mister travels, Mister is scared. Nothing can be done. Mister tries to stimulate himself, to react, but his will seems to collide with the strength of madness. Delirium begins.
