Impassioned by Art and Culture, quartered between Reality and Imaginary, History will not leave time to be himself, to live his own life. Testimonys of his comrades in arms bring us today a new lighting on the moral nobility of this important man and on the topicality of his fight.

This absorbing documentary follows the transition of the ANC from a liberation organisation into South Africa's ruling party. On 20 September 2008, Jacob Zuma, the president of the ruling African National Congress, toppled the South African president Thabo Mbeki from power when his party's national executive committee voted to sack him. Mbeki accepted his political demise calmly, welcomed the news and agreed to go quietly. The vote to oust him was the culmination of an epic power struggle between Mbeki, seen by many as an aloof intellectual the ANC sent into exile for 28 years, and Zuma, the Zulu farm-boy with no formal education who spent 10 years in jail on Robben Island, and who earlier this year became South Africa's third president since the end of apartheid. This absorbing documentary follows the transition of the ANC from a liberation organisation into South Africa's ruling party, through the evolution of the relationship between Mbeki and Zuma. The two men, both 66 and once comrades-in-arms, have been engaged in a bitter power struggle that has threatened to destroy the movement that enfranchised black South Africans, and to drag the country deeper into turmoil. Behind the Rainbow features key interviews with senior ANC personnel including Jacob Zuma, Kgalema Motlanthe, Pallo Jordan, Thabo Mbeki and Terror Lekota.

Gábor is an office cleaner. Wearing overalls and a baseball hat, he seems insignificant. Working on the night shift, Gábor rarely has any contact with his employers, yet he learns everything about them by thoroughly analyzing their garbage. Since he is almost invisible, nobody suspects that Gábor is, in fact, a con man who carefully chooses his victims by the trash they leave behind. His targets are mostly disillusioned, lonely women. In a few months he destroys all their romantic illusions by taking all their savings. Having an unusually high IQ and an ability to assume various personalities, Gábor is an expert in manipulation. When he gets a job at a psychologist's office, Gábor meets Hanna, an injured dancer who happens to be the daughter of a millionaire. Insecure and vulnerable, Hanna seems to be the perfect victim. Gábor pretends to be a doctor who can cure her body and her soul, an irresistible offer for a desperate woman. Everything goes according to plan until Gábor falls in love with Hanna and has to make a hard decision between her and the money.

Beside not very commendable teenagers, there exist some others, but who are never showed… Now, these young people, like Lucas, Alexis, etc, can have a beneficial influence on the youths adrift, and even make them better. But sometimes it is necessary to agree to pay the full price, like the corn grain which must die to bear fruit… It is what this film shows, film at the same time dramatic and full with hope, inspired from real facts.
