A Climate Crisis Fable
“Waiting for the Storms” is a thought-provoking film that transcends artistic boundaries to ignite a dialogue about the climate crisis.

Through the lives of four characters, we witness the power of human resilience in the face of environmental upheaval.

Marie, a young mother burdened with heart-wrenching questions about her child’s future, channels her anxiety into passionate activism. Terence, a climate-change refugee, shares his story with strangers in search of asylum. McKenzie, a state security officer, breaks free from the chains of the system to reclaim control over his destiny and find true fulfillment. Lastly, Kira, a soldier, makes a daring decision to desert the army and join a nomadic tribe committed to preserving humanist values.
“Hotel Silence” – A Journey of Discovery
Directed by Léa Pool, “Hotel Silence” delves into the depths of loss and self-discovery. Starring Sébastien Ricard and Irène Jacob, the film is based on the acclaimed novel by Audur Ava Ólafsdóttir, translated into 21 languages.
