The Odyssey
Summer, 1946. The Cousteau family – Jacques, his wife Simone and their two children Philippe and Jean-Michel – live in their beautiful house by the Mediterranean sea. By day they dive, by night they watch the stars. It's paradise on earth. But Jacques is never content. He lives and breathes adventure and believes absolutely in the virtues of progress.
Ten years later, back from boarding school, Philippe finds his father greatly altered – an international celebrity with megalomaniac dreams of grafting gills to humans and creating underwater cities. Jacques cannot see it yet, but Philippe already understands that progress and pollution have begun to lay waste to the marine world. Despite their mutual love and admiration, conflict between these two passionate men is inevitable.
La Controverse de Valladolid
En 1550, une question agite la chrétienté : qui sont les Indiens ? Une catégorie d'êtres inférieurs qu'il faut soumettre et convertir ? Ou des hommes, libres et égaux ? Un légat envoyé par le pape doit en décider. Pour l'aider, deux religieux espagnols. Tout oppose Ginès de Sépulvéda, fin lettré, rompu à l'art de la polémique, et Bartolomé de Las Casas, prêtre et homme de terrain ayant vécu de nombreuses années dans le Nouveau Monde. Le premier défend la guerre et son cortège d'atrocités au nom de Dieu. Le second lutte contre l'esclavage des Indiens. Un face à face dramatique dont l'écho retentit encore.
