Synopsis

One day, two photographers decided to go to the far north to film the Northern Lights in 3D. Jean Mouette works at the Institute of Astrophysics in Paris and has been hunting in space for years, photographing galaxies and solar eclipses all over the world. Thierry Légault is a world-renowned astrophotographer that NASA and the secret services are fighting for. We will follow them for several weeks in this far north off the Arctic Circle far above the 69th parallel. We will live by their side by -25° in the pure and deep darkness of a night that lasts more than 20 hours isolated from the world by hundreds of kilometers of ice and snow. You will discover the scientific facts as well as the myths and legends of these lights dancing in the night, the mysterious Aurora Boréalis.
