From Monday to Friday in Media Culture, Eva Roque gives you her TV tips for the evening.
This Thursday, television is going in search of missing persons thanks to three programs not to be missed.
Arte is trying to find a sister in the series "No man's land", Canal + will look for a missing woman in the suspense series "The Head" at 9:05 pm and W9 will bet on friendship with the replay of the hit film "Les petits mouchoirs" at 9:05 p.m.
Eva Roque is one step ahead of us, she knows what to watch this Thursday night. What is the theme of the selected programs?
Disappearance because you miss only one being and everything is depopulated (Lamartine).
For Antoine, this disappearance and this lack have lasted for months.
Since his sister Anna was killed in a terrorist attack in Cairo.
But he doesn't believe in this version.
On a video where Kurdish fighters appear, he is convinced to recognize his sister.
He leaves his bourgeois Parisian apartment for Syria.
A few hours after his arrival, he was kidnapped by Kurdish women from the YPJ group.
For some, this war is a personal fight, is it indicated in the credits of this series of Arte entitled "No Man's land".
It's an excellent Franco-Israeli series that mixes thriller, espionage and personal drama.
Human trajectories that intertwine with the conflict in Syria as a backdrop.
Everything rings true thanks to the script, the production and the interpretation, in particular by Félix Moati and Mélanie Thierry.
This is the series to watch on arte.tv and soon on Arte the channel.
A missing sister on one side, a wife on the other.
Another series, another mystery on Canal + with "The Head".
We are in Antarctica, in a research station where ten people are isolated from the world to carry out their work during the winter.
Six months later, Johan, the commander of the summer team returns and there is kind of a problem.
In front of him, seven corpses.
A young woman survived.
She is traumatized and fails to recount what happened.
Two people are missing, including Johan's wife.
The suspense is guaranteed for six episodes with the scary good music and the twists it takes to make us addicted.
A missing sister, a wife and a friend, the best friend, the one we do all the bullshit with.
W9 is rebroadcasting Guillaume Canet's film, "Les petits mouchoirs".
With Jean Dujardin, the one who disappears, Gilles Lelouche, Marion Cotillard, Valérie Bonneton, Benoît Magimel, Laurent Laffitte and François Cluzet.
We find him a little annoyed for a game of "1, 2, 3 sun" led by the children.
When the holidays with friends turn to settling scores.
It's funny and moving, enough to make us also want to go for a walk on the side of the sea or the ocean.
