Released from judicial care, Thierry Chartier, 18, is given a chance to
start over again. He returns to Heuzecourt, a small village in
Northern France inhabited by farm workers and retired miners. It
is here that his paternal grandmother lives. Thierry earns a
living by helping out in the fields and lending a hand to his
grandmother on her farm. But after an accident in which someone

Kafka's tortuous trial of love
Franz Kafka's letters to his fiancée Felice Bauer not only reveal a soul in torment; they also give us a harrowing self-portrait of a man appalled by his own existence.
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
