School sessions
Every year, various films are offered to educational centres to encourage reflection on human rights. The screenings are accompanied by teaching guides for use in the classroom.

But then Suzanne steps into the role of storyteller, just like grandma used to do, and the house fills with magical tales of adventure, humour and fantasy. It is a cherished family tradition that everyone adds their own ingredient to the stories, and this helps them all to rediscover the healing power of storytelling.

Pheasant Island is the smallest condominium in the world. It belongs to the Spanish State for half of the year and to the French for the other half. It emerges in the middle of the Bidasoa River, a natural border that separates both countries. Laida and Sambou, a local couple, are walking in front of the island. Suddenly they see two people swimming across the river trying to reach the other side. Days later a corpse appears during the exchange of sovereignty of the island. Who takes charge?
