The Hungarian Maria's Day is set in that most fateful of years, 1848. The incredible changes and reverses in European politics and culture exert a potent influence on one aristocratic Hungarian family. Losing virtually everything in the way of creature comforts, the family tries to keep up appearances. Eventually every member of the clan falls victim to illness, syphilis and their own headstrong foolishness. The parallels drawn by director Judith Elek between the dissipation of 19th century Hungarian aristocracy and the corruption of Communist ideology in modern times are inescapable. 　　The work of filmmmaker Judit Elek is highly regarded in French-speaking countries. It is so esteemed that in 1987, Elek was awarded the coveted Chevalier de l'Ordre des arts et des Lettres by the French government. Her illustrious career began when she entered the Academy of Theater and Film Arts as the only female. She graduated in 1955 with other Hungarian directors such as Istvan Szabo. She and her classmates were dubbed Hungary's 'first generation' directors in 1961 and the Bela Balazs studio was founded just for them. Her best-known films, Istenmezejen 1972-73 and Egyszeru tortenet, are two docudramas about two young women attempting to escape the constraints of traditional attitudes within a Hungarian village. Elek spent four years in the village while making the films.

Cesária Évora made the music of the Cape Verde islands famous throughout the world in the early 1990s. This film is an introduction to the culture, music and zest for life of the Cape Verdean people. On the occasion of the famous carnival of Mindelno, on the island of São Vicente where Cesaria Évora was born, this documentary offers a musical journey to discover "Sodade" and its legacy. Cesaria Évora, who died in 2011 after a twenty-year career, has allowed Cape Verde to shine throughout the world. The "barefoot diva", considered the queen of the morna has conquered the world and inspired many Cape Verdean artists. The small archipelago, which was for several centuries an important hub of the slave trade has promoted since then an important ethnic mix, which has played an important role in the evolution of local music.

The art of memory is a classic technique that associates images with places through a process of remembrance and meaning. From the memory of places and their context, the documentary delves into the creative process of three contemporary visual artists: Daniel Blaufuks, Pedro Bastos and José Rufino. Despite the different expression approaches of each author, we find points of communication in the way memory operates in their works. By rummaging through the hazards and disorder, we arrive at the director's personal mythology, assuming that memory is a fiction like any film.
