Arte frees people to speak out about the taboo of menopause. LCP traces the history of a famous communist purge. The investigation into obesity proposed by Arte is not lacking in interest either. And otherwise, Jonathan Cohen does a great number in a comedy with curious charm, on TF1.

At 9:10 p.m. on TF1. Film by Patrick Cassir (France, 2018) 1h42. With Jonathan Cohen, Camille Chamoux, Camille Cottin.
