" The Earth given to Mankind "

A star, the sand. The star could be one of those shiny objects filling the universe; the sand could be from any planet. But this sand is the earth's, the spectacle has a meaning because it is looked at. The importance is not the sand nor the star, but the invisible and in the middle, mankind looking on, asking questions in admiration. On the terms of his questioning, he creates a model of his world, science, in a dual birth never accomplished. Following his admiration, he installs a new way of looking at his world, art's rebirth constantly recurring.

Albert Jacquard

The film initiates the need for second thoughts about our awareness of the urgency to preserve nature and it's resources, about the human conscience, about the re-education of our civilisation concerning long lasting development.

The film will be build up around a conversation between Albert Jacquard and Alain Hubert. And set against the experience of the ongoing expedition. The film is not only a witness but is also working as a catalyst of the energies, the thoughts, the questions and maybe the answers constantly rising in every one of us, or in any case in those of us who have already looked at this world.

For the others, it will be, I hope, their first revelation.
