At the invitation of the mainland Chinese government, Shirley MacLaine took a contingent of seven American women of multiple races, ages and socioeconomic levels to China for a tour. Accompanied by government guides, these personable women toured Beijing, Shanghai, Canton and Hangchow. Among the highlights: a Caesarian childbirth under acupuncture anaesthesia, farms, homes, schools, and day-care centers. Clearly a propaganda piece, various outrageous claims by officials are made for the wholesomeness of Chinese life. Nonetheless, the film is well-photographed and the individuals involved in the tour are personable and charming.

埼京医科大学４年生の犬飼一（松村北斗）は、興味がない法医学研究室に配属され、准教授・桐山ユキ（仲間由紀恵）のもとで学ぶことに。しかも天才的だがわがままなユキは、犬飼を“ワンコ”と呼び、こき使う始末で…。そんな折、運転中に激突死した甲元正治の遺体が運ばれてくる。交通事故とされるが、ユキは検死で小さな噛み痕を発見。車内に小児糖尿病用の注射器があったという刑事・村上衛（田辺誠一）の話もあり、６～７歳のものと見立てる。そこから捜査線に浮上した男児に誘拐疑惑が――。ユキがそんな事件に挑んでいた頃、河原に止まっている車から、不倫の噂があった北林大学教授・川越克久（湯江タケユキ）と秘書・藍田満里の遺体が見つかる。一酸化炭素中毒による心中と処理されるが、駆け付けた高嶺霞（新実芹菜）は、満里の遺体の不審な点に気づく。だが刑事は「事件性はない」と解剖を認めず…。

From filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky comes an epic, intimate and poetic meditation on architecture and how the design and construction of buildings from the ancient past reveal our destruction – and offer hope for survival and a way forward. Centering on a landscape project by the Italian architect Michele De Lucchi, Kossakovsky uses the circle to reflect on the rise and fall of civilisations, capturing breathtaking imagery from the temple ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon, dating back to AD 60, to the recent destruction of cities in Turkey following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in early 2023. Rocks and stone connect the disparate societies, from ghostly monoliths stuck in the earth to tragic heaps of concrete rubble waiting to be hauled off and repurposed anew. Through Kossakovsky’s inquisitive lens, the grandeur and folly of humanity and its precarious relationship with nature posits the urgent question: How do we build, and how can we build better, before it’s too late?
