In Peru, 350 km south of the capital, Lima, in the Nazca Valley, one of the driest regions in the world, gigantic figures representing stylized animals can be seen from the sky. Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the “Nazca Lines” have continued to fascinate both the general public and the scientific world since their accidental discovery during the first half of the XNUMXth century. Who drew these lines? How and why ? After decades of research by scientists around the world, the veil is gradually being lifted on the Nazca Lines.

To live and reproduce, to conquer new territories, plants use sophisticated strategies. When they are attacked by pests they produce formidable chemical substances which act on a large scale, they solicit bacteria, form links with fungi, manipulate insects and birds. In the incessant struggle between those who eat and those who are eaten, plants have incredible resources and deploy astonishing strategies. In short, plants are not what we think!

Located in the heart of the Indian Ocean, Reunion Island has long been a virgin island space preserved from human activities. Faced with growing human pressures, more and more conservation actions are necessary to preserve Reunion's natural heritage. However, this balance is difficult to find and its exercise, even perfect, presupposes the sustainability of conservation actions. Reunion's natural heritage then appears to be increasingly dependent on human action: it is pandiyé.

What binds us to each other, to Nature, to the Living? Driven by this quest, Angélique, Klervi and Marion set off for the Pyrenees to meet 3 figures committed to the Protection of the Living: Jean-Paul Crampe, Sarah Langner and Diane Sorel. They find them at home, in their mountains, before sharing a bivouac together under the starry sky. A common wish: to discover other ways of acting, of being and reinventing their links to the Living. This long walk reveals to them three distinct wisdoms and three unique ways of considering action. Leaving room for the unexpected, balanced between the brutality and the richness of the mountain, they delve into the twists and turns of the collective and discover the power of its diversity.
