“Le Flambeau : Les Aventuriers de Chupacabra” (Entre 2 & 4 / Making Prod / STUDIOCANAL)
In the first season of LA FLAMME, our bachelor Marc had to choose his heart’s desire out of many contestants. He was (almost) the only man and the focus of it all… Season 2 shakes it all up – with the suits and gowns swapped for swimwear! This is more than just a new season, this is a whole new show – with Marc becoming as much a contestant as the others this time around, as he joins a team of adventurers trying to survive on the idyllic island of Chupacabra…

A Very Ordinary World by Ovidie
“A Very Ordinary World” by Ovidie (Magneto Prod. / STUDIOCANAL)
Romain is a 18-year-old student who wants to become a porn actor, in a dystopian alternative world where women hold all the power. Romain will have to make a place for himself in this world, which is exceedingly difficult for men: a world of twisted auteurs, mistreatment by female colleagues, and where you become out-of-date as soon as you turn 35. A VERY ORDINARY WORLD puts a high-concept twist on the porn industry to deliver a scathing critique of the macho world we live in – as Romain tries to break through by confronting the gaze of others.

The ISS, the International Space Station has gone silent. The crew is in distress. Simultaneously, a wax-covered decapitated body is found on a roof in Kazakhstan. Positive identification leaves no room for doubt: the body belongs to an American astronaut currently on a mission on the ISS. A French astronaut, Anna Zarathi, dismissed from the space program, and a Kazakh cop, Isaak Turgun, cast aside by his superiors, set out to solve this mysterious paradox…
