The film combines clips from Tarkovsky's films with footage of Tarkovsky on the set of his last film The Sacrifice and on his deathbed, during the final stage of his battle with cancer. The film mostly relies on images, with only sparse commentary, and concentrates mainly on giving insight into Tarkovsky's work and philosophy and on exploring the intersections between his private life and his work. The film starts with a scene from Tarkovsky first film Ivan's Childhood and ends with a parallel scene from his last film The Sacrifice. It shows the reunion of Tarkovsky with his son Andrei Jr., who had been allowed to leave the Soviet Union only after Tarkovsky was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Apart from Andrei Tarkovsky himself the film shows, among others, his second wife Larisa Tarkovskaya, his son Andrei Jr., the editor of the film The Sacrifice Michal Leszczylowski, the French actress Valérie Mairesse, the Swedish cinematographer Sven Nykvist and the Russian actress Margarita Terekhova.

The film exhibits a series of sculptures, masks and other traditional art from Sub-Saharan Africa. The images are frequently set to music and cut to the music's pace. The narrator focuses on the emotional qualities of the objects, and discusses the perception of African sculptures from a historical and contemporary European perspective. Only occasionally does the film provide the geographical origin, time period or other contextual information about the objects. The idea of a dead statue is explained as a statue which has lost its original significance and become reduced to a museum object, similarly to a dead person who can be found in history books. Interweaved with the objects are a few scenes of Africans performing traditional music and dances, as well as the death of a disemboweled gorilla.

Le film Olympia 52 peut être considéré comme un documentaire. il s'agit d'une commande de la Direction Générale de la Jeunesse et des Sports. Le film de Chris Marker s'attache à montrer ce que le public présent dans les tribunes peut voir du déroulement des épreuves olympiques. On y retrouve donc les images des compétitions mais aussi des scènes de préparation des athlètes. Cela donne un rythme particulier au film avec une alternance de "temps forts" et de "temps faibles". On peut également observer de nombreux plans de coupes montrant le public dans les tribunes. Ce dernier point est né d'une contrainte imposée par le comité olympique pour le tournage des films amateurs depuis les gradins. Chris Marker en a fait un parti pris qui donne au film une autre vision du sport plus centrée sur ceux qui le regardent que ceux qui le pratiquent.

Le documentaire montre en voix-off les plans filmés par Chris Marker en Sibérie. Il passe en revue différents sujets : la vie des gens sur place, la modernisation de la société, les chercheurs d'or, etc. et est ponctué de digressions, comme un dessin animé sur les mammouths, une fausse publicité vantant les mérites des rennes ou une scène où la voix off est refaite plusieurs fois.

Peu après le choc de septembre 2001, voilà qu'apparaissent sur les toits de Paris des chats. Par un graphisme simple et parfaitement maîtrisé, ils affichent un large sourire. C'est en suivant leur trace que ce film s'est construit.

Un jeune homme, casque bleu en Bosnie-Herzégovine quelques mois pendant la guerre, raconte son expérience de soldat de la paix. Durant tout le film, on ne voit que son visage filmé en gros plan et quelques photos. Un témoignage très fort sur la faillite de la communauté internationale dans la crise yougoslave.
