Barnabé Leroux is a fussy, pettifogging, obsessive pensioner. Since his wife died, he has lived a solitary life and rarely sees Benoît, his only son. he despises his neighbours, and his only real contact with the outside world is his weekly consultation with his psychoanalyst. His life is carefully regimented, down to the last millimetre. Nothing is left to chance. Until the day he finds a yoghurt missing from his fridge. Barnabé was sure it had been there the day before! Could something as ordinary as a yoghurt have the power to change a life?

Arnaud loves Marion. But since they visited an apartment to move in together, there's been a doubt nagging at him. Did Marion have a thing for the realtor? By chance, he bumps into someone who looks exactly like the realtor, and asks him to pass himself off as the man he suspects of dallying with Marion. A brilliant idea! Unless the fake realtor finds himself face to face with the real one... And a twin brother just happens to appear on the scene. Three doppelgangers in one night could prove too much for Arnaud!

Friends and colleagues for thirty years, Charles and Stan, two stage actors, argue about their ambitious new project, restaging Antoine Vitez's legendary 1978 performance of the four Molière plays, The Misanthrope, the School for Wives, Tartuffe, and Dom Juan. And like their master and Molière himself, the duo want to perform without a set, but merely a table, two chairs, and stick. Dring rehearsals, Charles unfortunately reads a message on Stan's phone from a mysterious H. Discord ensues.

Based on In Other Words by Matthew Seager. Once upon a time, there was a love story. Jeanne and Arthur. It was the perfect story. Perfect until Jeanne asked Arthur to go pick up some milk and a stamp. So easy to remember, and yet... Once upon a time, there was a love story that Arthur would have preferred never to have forgotten.

"Saudade" is a Portugese word for a complex feeling of melancholy, nostalgia, and hope. A sense of "being present in the past, or past in the present". Idalio, his sister Joana and their nephew Manu return to the old house, fling open the doors and windows, and a whole stream of history emerges. How can they stay true to it? How can they pass it on? Do they need it? Or want it? How does one come to terms with an ideal that one has always striven for, but can never be achieved?
