Don Lockwood a Lina Lamontová sú hviezdny hollywoodsky pár. Roku 1927 sa však ich kariéra ocitne na vážkach, pretože svet objavil nový vynález - zvukový film.

Narodila sa na chodníku, dočasne prišla o zrak, vyrastala v nevestinci, zarábala si pouličným spevom… Napriek tomu sa stala svetoznámou hviezdou prvej veľkosti. Život Edith Piaf (vlastným menom Edith Giovanna Gassion) bol bojom o hudbu, prežitie a lásku. Jej magický hlas, vášeň a priateľstvá s osobnosťami svojej doby (Marlen Dietrich, Jean Cocteau, Yves Montand, Charles Aznavour…) ju od chudobného detstva priviedli k obdivu celého sveta. Vďaka svojej neuveriteľne silnej vôli a neobyčajnému nadaniu sa vyrovnala s tragickým osudom a sen z detstva premenila na skutočnosť. „Raz budem bohatá, budem mať samé prachy. Budem vlastniť biele auto a čierneho šoféra.“ Nechcela dať svetu šancu na seba zabudnúť a vďaka jej geniálnemu prejavu sa to podarilo.
Všetci sedíme na časovanej bombe.

Ak ste sa teraz zarazili, určite vás zaujme hit filmového festivalu v Sundance, Nepríjemná pravda režiséra Davisa Guggenheima. V nej popisuje zapálený súboj jedného muža s mýtmi a nepravdami obklopujúcimi fenomén globálneho otepľovania a jeho návod na únik zo slepej uličky. Tým mužom je bývalý americký viceprezident Al Gore, ktorý po neúspešných prezidentských voľbách v roku 2000 presmeroval kormidlo svojho života v ústrety záchrane planéty pred nezvratnými zmenami.
