The Angry Emu


The koala and the emu


A long time ago during the Dreamtime, the koala was the fastest animal of Australia. He was the fastest animal of all the tropical forest. One day, a new animal came: an emu. He came from the desert. Very early the koala wanted to run with the emu because he ran very fast.
One day, the koala met the emu to invite him to run with him and the emu accepted. The next day, lots of animals from the forest were present to see that. The race began and the koala and the emu started very fast. During the race, they crossed lots of mountains, rivers, hot desert and one tropical forest. Near the end of the race, the koala took a secret passage, but the emu saw him... At the finishing line, the emu hit the koala with his beak and paralized the koala for all his life.
This is why today ….guess !!!

A film we saw, by Athénaîs and Margot.

No Man's Land

SYNOPSIS : In 1993, during the war of Bosnia, two ennemies, a Bosnian and a Serbian soldier, Ciki and Nino, both fall in a No Man's Land. Before that, Nino and another Serbian soldier had put down a Bosnian body on a mine. But the trapped soldier is not dead. Ciki and Nino try to find a solution.
At the same time, a member of the Blue Helmets try to help them, even if his superiors forbids it to him. Some international journalists go on place and try to transform this news item into a media show.The hatred between the two soldiers doesn't cease augmenting.
The superiors of the FORPRONU decide finally to send a mine clearence expert. But he can't do anything.
Ciki and Nino go out of the trench and, using inattention of the Blue Helmets, kill each other. The journalists and the FORPRONU left the place, and let the trapped soldier alone on his mine...


THE FILM : realised by Danis Tanovic in 2001, "No Man's Land" has accepted the "palme d'or" of the best scenario the same year. One of the feature of the film is the languages spoken : the serbocroate, the french, the english, and a little bit of german. It's a hard film, but it's especially very true !

Altough it was a sad film, we both enjoyed it ! =)
