Surviving against all odds. In 1940, Benjamin Orenstein, just a teenager, was sent to his first concentration camp in Poland. It was the beginning of a journey that would mark him for life. After years of silence, he now bears witness to one of the darkest chapters in history.

By exploring the roads of a rural France in transformation, the artists investigate the profound shifts currently shaping it. From the Maurienne valley to the Vosges forest, passing through Pays de la Loire, Normandy, and Ardèche, this documentary charts a fresh map of the French countryside.

Every year, Tournon-sur-Rhône hosts the National Festival of Humorists. A festival that, over the years, has become a must-attend event for all lovers of humor. Some of the biggest names have graced its stage, including Laurent Gerra, Dany Boon, Stéphane Guillon, as well as Florence Foresti and Elodie Poux. This year, the Festival is celebrating its 35th anniversary. On this occasion, France 3 Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes invites you to experience this event from the inside and offers you a special look at the platform for young talents, also known as "bouffons."

François, Renée, Gisèle, Sylvain. These seniors do not have much in common, but their lives have been shaped by episodes of abandonment, rejection, or fear. Some still live in invisibility, afraid of how others will look at them. Loneliness weighs heavily. For others, living with HIV has worn down their bodies, and old age arrives more quickly. Then there is a hope: that of a house in Lyon where they will finally be able to be themselves. A place where it will be possible to grow old without ever having to hide again. There is that family we choose for ourselves. The feeling that a new chapter is opening—the last one—filled with promise, and with the boldness of all those first times we finally allow ourselves, so late in life. But when it comes to becoming visible, the fears accumulated over a lifetime are never far away. And they come to pull our courageous dreamers back from their dream: should they take the leap?

With humor and simplicity, this documentary delves into this world often deemed incomprehensible. Quantum physics is also a poetic universe, where laws defy everyday logic: a particle can be here and elsewhere at the same time, a qubit can be 0 and 1 at the same time. But behind these spectacular announcements, one question remains: will the famous quantum computer ever work?
