Une jeune famille adopte Cody, un chien errant des rues roumaines. Elle s’attache vite au petit chien qui chamboule leur vie et leur ouvre un nouveau monde, celui du vivre ensemble entre l’homme et l’animal. Emue par l’affection que Cody leur apporte, la famille décide de partir à la recherche des traces de son passé en Roumanie. Cody vivait totalement libre avec la chienne Blanche. Avec elle, il a partagé la liberté mais aussi les dangers quotidiens de la rue. Que se passerait-il s’il devait être confronté à nouveau avec son passé et s’il revoyait sa compagne ? Le sort de Cody pose aussi des questions importantes sur notre société : comment les humains se comportent-ils avec l’environnement et les animaux qui les entourent ? Sont-ils prêts à leur accorder aussi des droits ?

Baku in Azerbaijan, the site of the world's first oil well, is once again becoming a focus for foreign investors eager to exploit the country's vast oil riches. "Source*" traces the pipeline from our commuter highways back to this surreal and sinister landscape on which our way of life depends, where cows graze on polluted land and children play in toxic gunge. With three quarters of the population living under the poverty line, the country's post-Soviet government is promising oil will return Azerbaijan into a real country, a prosperous and flourishing "New Kuwait". But between big oil companies like British Petroleum and the corrupt government lining their pockets, what does this mean for ordinary people of Azerbaijan? Is this "liquid gold" more of a curse than a blessing for this troubled country?

Lindenstraße is a German television show on ARD's Das Erste, one of Germany's two publicly administered TV channels. The first episode was aired on 8 December 1985 and since then new episodes have been broadcast weekly. Its current timeslot on Das Erste is Sundays at 18:50. The events of the Sunday episode usually take place on the Thursday before the show, based on the TV station's original plan of airing the episodes Thursday night. Prior of the start of the show, the timeslot was switched to Sunday evening but the Thursday remained the day the events usually take place as the show shall feature the daily life routine of the protagonists on a working day. Exceptions are the so-called holiday episodes that take place on Sunday, such as for Christmas and Easter and also on important election days. Setting the pace for other soap operas in Germany, the first episodes were met with mostly bad reviews. However, Lindenstraße soon became one of the most successful shows on German TV.
