The theme of the series is “French Films for All Ages.” The protagonists in the films chosen represent all age groups, from young schoolchildren, adolescents and young adults, to mature adults and the elderly. All of the movies present a fresh or amusing view of the lives of these characters.

Les Triplettes de Belleville (The Triplets of Belleville) is the final film in the series.
