I övergången från stumfilm till ljudfilm försvann ett flertal av filmens största stjärnor då deras röster inte passade med deras image.

Mänskligheten sitter på en tickande bomb. Om det som majoriteten av världens klimatforskare hävdar är riktigt, har vi bara tio år på oss att förhindra den katastrof som hotar jorden. Vår planet står inför en klimatförändring av gigantiska mått, som inom en nära framtid innebär extrema väderomsvängningar med översvämningar, torka, stormar och epidemier som följd. Denna hotande katastrof är orsakad av oss själva. Detta är en berättelse om en människas beslut att göra något åt saken. Personen i fråga är ingen annan än f.d. vice presidenten Al Gore, som efter sitt nederlag i presidentvalet 2000, ägnat sitt liv åt att slå hål på den mytbildningen och de missuppfattningar om omger begreppet global warming.
En film baserad på Edith Gassions mytomspunna liv. Hon blev känd under namnet Edith Piaf och i sitt hemland Frankrike som “La môme Piaf" (“Den lilla sparven"). Ett liv som började i en askungesaga för att sedan förföljas av tragik och olyckor, men även kantat av hennes legendariska begåvning. Berättelsen handlar även om staden Paris, om personligheterna och om artisterna, både de välkända och de mindre kända, som förvandlade Paris till ljusets och drömmarnas stad. Det är berättelsen om en sann nationalskatt, om en “grande dame" och hennes tro, hennes lidande och hennes passion men naturligtvis även om den kärlek, i många fall fördömd, som hon sjöng om.
