Boomer millionaire quits the rat-race for Florida archipelago island life

Imbued with mystery and grandeur, the fortified castles testify to medieval civilization and cover a complex reality. By traveling from castle to castle, from the borders of Spain to the mountains of Switzerland, from the Scottish moors to the banks of the Dordogne, and thanks to 3D models, this film retraces a thousand years of medieval military construction...

Construction methods and siege techniques will constantly evolve, in a frantic race for optimal effectiveness against invaders.
In the 11th century, the first castles appear that can be described as "forts", impregnable with their ramparts and their corner towers. But this military building is also the residence of authority, of the lord. It became the symbol of feudalism in full development...
From the 14th century, the fortified castles lost their importance in front of the efficiency of the artillery which now broke all the walls and the military architects adapted the shape of the castles to thwart the new siege techniques.
The 16th and 17th centuries mark the end of fortified castles. The art of war evolved along with social structures. Now fortified cities and numerous armies are more effective in defending the kingdom. The castles gradually became the residence of lords whose authority gave way to that of the King. They are transformed into luxurious residences. The castle then no longer has anything “strong”.

A thousand days of presidency as well as a tragic end made John Fitzgerald Kennedy a true legend and fueled the myth around the family clan. Jackie Kennedy said of her husband that he had "a life closer to legend and fantasy than to political science."
These words could apply to the entire Kennedy family.
This documentary, through the testimonies of loved ones, is a revelation of the secrets of this legendary family whose charisma and charm have made us forget the multiple gray areas: “The Kennedys are like nuclear waste, they never die”

It is the most closed country in the world, the last great communist, paranoid and aggressive dictatorship. In North Korea, nothing or almost nothing has changed since the creation of the country by Kim Il-Sung in 1953. 23 million North Koreans survive in absolute misery, without any freedom, prisoners of impassable borders. It is in this distressing universe that a group of French people have decided to spend their holidays. 8500 euros for three weeks is as expensive as a stay in the Seychelles. But for this price they will have to be satisfied with rationed food, hotels without comfort, outdated buses... Not to mention the permanent surveillance of threatening guides. Claude, Henri and Jacqueline will discover cities without cars, empty shops, casinos without money. They will have to submit to mandatory visits, propaganda and forced tributes to the eternal president of North Korea. An incredible journey, as North Korea prepares for the rise to power of Kim Jong-Un, grandson of the founder of the first communist dynasty in history.
