Vast Blue Antarctica

How does it feel to live in the most isolated place of the planet? Does time matter there? Do you only dream in white? These are some of the questions Alexandre Gautier, a French woodworker who works in the maintenance service for the infrastructure of the French scientific mission in Antarctica, tries to answer in this animated documentary. The film follows Alexandre’s train of thoughts about Antarctica, the vast whiteness of the continent, loneliness and the purpose of life. He recalls memories from the past, ponders on his current situation and sketches out his vision and dreams about the future, trying to give an answer to the ultimate ques­tion of ​“where is home?”
