But this time it wasn't his basketball brilliance as a perennial NBA All-Star and three-time MVP that was captivating audiences worldwide. Instead, the 32-year-old groundbreaking point guard was holding a press conference to make the stunning announcement that he was HIV-positive and would be retiring from basketball immediately..
22 mai 1963. Insatisfait de la situation sociale et politique en Turquie, un groupe d'officiers militaires a planifié un coup d'État pour renverser le gouvernement à Ankara. Pendant ce temps à Istanbul, les conspirateurs ont entrepris la mission vitale de prendre le contrôle de la radio nationale et de faire une annonce officielle sur le coup d’État. Mais rien ne se passe comme prévu. Confrontés à de nombreux obstacles, notamment une soudaine tempête, l’absence de technicien à la radio, une trahison, l’absence de retour d’Ankara et leur propre insuffisance, les conspirateurs se bousculent pour tenir leur plan et annoncer le succès du coup d'État dans la capitale..
A film about friendship and familiarity masking major secrets. When protagonists Beth and Ross gather all of their best friends together for an unruly drink and drug-fuelled party, the event is like many such evenings. That is, until Beth and Ross make an announcement. They tell those assembled that they have secretly married. The impact is not as simple as they had expected. We then track the events of the evening as the news affects each person in turn. Instead of the absolute approval Ross and Beth had hoped for, the news throws a harsh spotlight on everyone's relationship and notions of marriage. The film explores the confused attitudes of a generation whose model of love and romance is complex and demanding. The evening degenerates into a rash of revelations and discoveries about all of the friends, but most dramatically it unravels Ross and Beth's relationship in a way neither of them could have foreseen. This is no fairytale.

Le portrait de sept femmes qui composent sur un même thème. Elles prennent pour point de départ les récits des Annonces faites à Hagar, Sarah et Marie, que rapportent l’Ancien Testament, le Nouveau Testament et le Coran. Ces sept femmes – chacune avec ses clefs de lecture: mythologie, histoire de l’art, poésie, psychanalyse, théologie – nous ouvrent la compréhension de ces récits. Ainsi, y mêlant leur propre histoire, leurs mythes personnels, elles en arrivent à évoquer des sujets tels que la naissance de l’image dans le monde chrétien ou celle du poème dans la Grèce antique. Annonces est un film sur le mouvement de la pensée, le pouvoir des mots, le secret de la voix, la séduction de l’image..
