- In Italy's autonomous region Southern Tirol, charming hospital doctor Marco Antonelli gets a mutual crush on ambitious, German-educated young cellar master Franziska Gasser, daughter of his grumpy patient, who still rents any contact, even medical care, with Italian-speaking 'invaders' in the former Austrian region. Both families oppose a mixed relationship, burdened by a bitter war time past. Franzi only returned to the ancestral vineyard to help out after her ingrate, domineering father Josef Gasser was incapacitated indefinitely in a car accident and is diagnosed with an incurable ear affliction, yet only her mother Theresa could make him accept help to urgently bring in and process this year's harvest, resenting any modernization or experiment, while Franzi intended to apply her oenology studies on a much larger estate, probably abroad. Mother agrees they may have to lease to estate to someone, the prominent candidate being Marco's father Antonio Antonelli, whom Terese however resents. Franzi meets the charming Italian and digs in grandfather's souvenir box which leads to the bitter family traumas, notably an ambush that killed Marco's grandfather in the 1960 riot, and Teresa's own secret.
- Few people who drink wine, and almost none of those who do not, know how wine is made except in a general sort of way. This film shows the vineyards on the sunny slopes of the hills of Southern France. The peasants are gathering great bunches of purple grapes and putting them in big wicker baskets, in which they are carried on long sticks to the pressing room. Here they are thrown into a big wine press, a circular affair, made up of sections through which the juice of the grapes may run as they are being pressed out. The blood red juice is shown trickling from the press into a large vat, in which it is kept until it begins to ferment, when it is poured into large casks and sealed to wait the proper time when it is sampled by an expert who can tell with a single taste whether the wine is of proper quality to be put upon the market. The last scene shows the sampler at work, and it is evident that he enjoys his job.
- The Cinematographic Broadcasting Service (SDC) of the General Government of Algeria (GGA, then Government Delegation in Algeria), created in 1943 but active only from 1945, is used to broadcast films produced by France on Algerian colonialism in the countryside (and more rarely in the cities) of Algeria using "cinebuses" whose number will increase until the end of the Algerian war. Organized in the manner of German propaganda and its American counterparts of the Psychological Warfare Branch during the Second World War, composed largely of civil servants of "European" origin, the SDC is resolutely thought of as a tool for psychological action, used in times of peace as in times of war with rural populations in order to orient their perception of colonial power. The filmic grandeur of the French action contrasted sharply with the reality of a dispossessed and exploited population. The children, for their part, represented even more of a captive audience, the supposed aim of the school screenings being to inculcate in them the "bases" of history and geography concerning Algeria, giving little account of the disparities at work in the Algerian society. To improve acceptance of propaganda, which involves documentaries, the two services (SCD and CHPT/CDP) almost systematically offer short fiction films, mainly cartoons and comedy films of the Charlot type, as well as short musical films in Arabic (Music and joy; The unexpected party...). The listing of SDC cinebuses is made up of a variety of films that make the service an "instrument of information, mass education, relaxation of minds and sometimes also French propaganda"13. Sometimes and above all, because the bulk of the films are generalist propaganda documentaries on Algeria (highlighting the role of France in the human and industrial development of the country: Algeria at work; Algiers the city that builds; El Djezaïr. ..), to which is added the prophylactic and technical film (Once upon a mountain; Alert to the fields; Alert to mothers; Boussaad, Djeloul and the mosquitoes; Caravan of light...) and the tourist film on the different regions from Algeria, even from France. As we can see, these films alternate between prosaic considerations on malaria or the gullying of the mountains and generalist propaganda whose content is most often very far removed from the daily life of the Algerian populations to whom they are addressed.
