"Ice and the Sky" is a French environmental movie from this year and it was the closing film at Cannes 2015. Writer and director is Luc Jacquet, who is mostly known for the Academy Award winning, 10-year-old penguin documentary "La marche de l'empereur". And in his newest film here, there is also one scene with penguins, but it's really only very short. Most of the 90 minutes takes place at the Poles again, but this one is not about the animals living there. Instead we find out about French scientist Claude Lorius, who is in his 80s now and spent more than 10 years of scientific research at these coldest places of the planet.

"Now that, just like me, you know, what do you intend to do?"
CLAUDE LORIUS
"Now that he is 82 years of age, I feel like going back in the past with him to recount his story: to travel along the timeline of his life, as a genuine reflection of our planet history.
To paint a subtle portrait of this marvelous, wise old man with whom I intuitively share words and images that stem from our immoderate love of the Antarctic, a headland where both of us, forty years apart, have found a common destiny."
