Idoma Kwali, a man born and raised in the Delta, witnesses the devastation of his village and the surrounding environment due to the negligence of Neutex Oil. As he grapples with the loss of his son and the destruction of his homeland, Idoma’s path crosses with James Layton, the new CEO of Neutex, who is torn between his corporate responsibilities and the ethical implications of his company’s actions. As tensions escalate, both men are forced to confront their own beliefs and the lengths they are willing to go to protect what they hold dear. ‘The Bleeding Ground’ is a gripping tale of environmental justice, corporate greed, and the human cost of progress.

Synopsis :
Iconic Model Justine needs the flashy cameras to feel alive. Without the eye of the camera she is nothing. Once, she was the favourite of the most famous designers and photographers. But, from one day to the next, at the height of her career, Justine stopped working with Lucide Amère, the most influential designer. Why? Both keep silent about it. As jobs decrease in numbers and importance and competition increases, Justine fears for her visibility. Not to be seen anymore, means not to exist anymore. Justine struggles for her existence, gradually losing her mind in a downward spiral of illusion, self-denial, loss of identity – and murder.
Because at the same time, the glittering world of haute couture becomes the stage for a series of bizarre murders. A killer is hunting down models, whose corpses he exhibits in exposed public places, their throats slit and their bodies artfully bound and fettered. The killer’s trademark is the black tape over the eyes of the victims – a detail that has caused him to be
dubbed the “Censor”. All the victims have something in common: their modelling careers are closely linked to Lucide Amère. As Lucide turns out to be the only one to bring Justine back to the flashlights, she eventually walks for Lucide’s highly anticipated show. Is Justine herself now on the Censor’s list? Moreover, she gets into the focus of inspector Leblanc’s investigations. He has taken on the case for reasons he initially doesn’t let on.
With Justine, we break through the hyperreal, flawless façade of fashion and dive straight into the nightmares of human abysses. We meet people who only exist as abstract sketches of themselves. Like fashion: thousands
of cuts and designs, with changing identities. Isolated and, at the same time, split up into many. The deeper we are drawn into the glamorous fashion world, the more it shows us the shocking horror behind the scenes: abuse and exploitation, and a conspiracy too big to stop anymore.
In the end, Justine has to face her demons to leave her nightmare: Who am I? I am many. And: Could she kill a person herself to survive? Or does she herself first have to die to finally be born? A battle for her sense of self begins.

Synopsis :
Les jeunes violonistes et amies Marie Wendel et Kim Cheng sont en finale du concours Reine Elisabeth en Belgique. Une fausse note et la carrière de Marie s’arrête, tandis que Kim s’envole vers le succès.
Déçue, Marie végète dans le souvenir de sa sœur Clara, pianiste, décédée dans un accident de voiture. Avec elle, Marie formait Alter Duo, un ensemble fusionnel. Il faudra le flair de Max Kieffer, un agent, pour la relancer aux côtés de Luigi Faena, un pianiste en quête d’une nouvelle carrière. Orion&Sirius sera leur duo parfait jusqu’à sa disparition volontaire.
Comment Marie pourra-t-elle se reconstruire ? Une seule solution : partir sur les traces de Luigi dans l’Italie de sa jeunesse. Là-bas, avec l’aide de Francesco, un ami de Luigi, elle affrontera ce qu’elle ne voulait pas voir : l’arthrose de Luigi.
Marie veut alors ranger son violon et oublier son Alter Duo. A moins que Kim ne reprenne la partition de leur amitié pour lui montrer une nouvelle façon de vivre la musique.
