    Edith Piaf was an eternal lover. But there is no doubt about who was the love of her life. Marcel Cerdan, the greatest French boxer, is the one who inspired one of her most beautiful songs: "Hymn to Love." Their passion was short but intense... with one of the most tragic endings. A story of rings, stages, and journeys. A love story. A Meeting in New York 1947, New York. The Big Apple is the center of the world. The land of endless possibilities, when many countries are recovering painfully from World War II. In the heart of this bustling city, at the feet of dizzying skyscrapers, two French individuals find themselves there at the same time, unaware of each other. Two celebrities, as they say, have come to seek success across the Atlantic. Two strangers. A Passionate Love Marcel is a married man. His wife, Marinette, and their three sons live in Casablanca. With Edith, they must be discreet. They settle at the Hotel Claridge, in two adjacent rooms. They can rely on the discretion of the complicit press, which keeps silent about their affair. They spend more and more time together. They discover many commonalities: they both grew up in poverty and could only rely on their talent to make it through. They have similar natures, down-to-earth and likable, their success not distancing them from ordinary people. They admire each other, visit each other in their respective playgrounds: the stage and the ring. Cerdan's manager strongly opposes this relationship, believing that the singer distracts his athlete. But nothing can deter them; Marcel is madly in love, and Edith returns his affections wholeheartedly.

A love story. Love is to damage oneself 1991, Los Angeles. The Butthole Surfers are performing at the Hollywood Palladium. In the mosh pit, spectators are frenzied, their bodies swaying and colliding with one another. The floor is sticky. A scent of sweat and beer fills the space. One woman commands all the attention.

Kurt had formed his band, Nirvana, two years earlier. They had released their first album, "Bleach," recorded in three days. A true flop, as the record label made no effort to promote it.

    In 2020, over sixty years after the civil rights movement, riots once again rocked the United States following the killing of George Floyd by a white police officer because of his race. In this context, we aim to recount the story of a resilient, dignified, and activist couple: Martin Luther King and his wife, Coretta Scott King. A tale of segregation, courage, and hope. A story of love. Coretta, a Woman of Commitment Coretta was born in 1927 in Marion, Alabama. School was an inspiring place for Coretta from a young age. She became the lead soprano in the college choir. She also played the piano, trumpet, and excelled in school performances. She was an intelligent and highly creative young girl. Coretta's awakening as an activist occurred during her time at Yellowspring College, long before she met her future husband. She joined the NAACP, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. By the time she arrived in Boston, Coretta was thus an independent young woman, confident in herself and her convictions. Meeting a man was not part of her plans... For Martin, it's about sharing humanity In Boston, Martin Luther King Jr. is also far from home. He was born in Atlanta, Georgia, 2 years after Coretta. Martin is a precocious and brilliant boy. At 18 years old, with his bachelor's degree in sociology in hand, Martin makes a decision: he will become a pastor. After careful consideration, the Church seems to him the most evident way to fulfill his deepest aspiration: to give meaning, to share humanity. In 1951, he obtains his university degree in theology in Chester, Pennsylvania. He moves to Boston for his doctoral studies. One day, he asks a friend of his if she might have any girls to introduce him to on campus. She does have someone in mind...
