Synopsis

Le 14 juin 1941, suivant un ordre de Staline, des Estoniens sont arrêtés arbitrairement, dépossédés de leurs biens et déportés, pour la seule raison de leur appartenance à la culture estonienne. Parmi eux, figure Erna, qui est envoyée en Sibérie avec sa petite fille, et séparée de son mari, déporté ailleurs. Pendant les 15 ans que dureront sa détention, elle continuera d'écrire des lettres à son mari pour raconter ce qu'elle vit et continuer d'espérer.

France, 1563. Protestants et catholiques se livrent une lutte sans merci pour la terre et le pouvoir. Henri IV a pris la tête des protestants et marche sur Paris, prêt à en découdre avec les catholiques et notamment avec la rivale de sa mère : la puissante Catherine de Médicis. La réconciliation entre les deux clans semble à portée de main, lorsque la Reine offre sa fille Margot en mariage. Les noces tournent au bain de sang... Henri ne survit au massacre de la Saint-Barthélémy que pour être fait prisonnier. Incarcéré au Louvre, il y passe 4 ans avant de pouvoir s'échapper. Il passera le reste de sa vie à s'opposer par tous les moyens dont il dispose à ceux qui n'ont ni sens moral ni humanisme. Pour y parvenir, il n'hésitera pas à changer de religion. Les épreuves qui jalonnent son accession au trône façonneront le monarque qu'il devint : le premier vrai humaniste.

In 1944, American forces were closing in on the Japanese-occupied Philippines. The Japanese held around 500 American prisoners who had survived the Bataan Death March in a notorious POW camp at Cabanatuan and subjected them to brutal treatment and summary execution, as the Japanese view surrender as a disgrace. Many prisoners were also stricken with malaria.

The movie presents a view of post-9/11 United States as seen through the eyes of Lana (Williams), an American girl who has lived in Africa and the Middle East for years with her missionary parents. She is returning from a long trip to the West Bank. In Los Angeles, she works at a homeless mission and looks up her only living relative in the US, her late mother's brother, Paul (Diehl). He is a paranoid Vietnam veteran who drives around filming and spying on Arabs and people with Arab features. Lana, in contrast, leans toward anti-war convictions and has been changed by her experiences abroad, so feels outside American culture.
