The landscape of Mer de Glace, in the Mont Blanc massif, is transformed over time, a “geological timeline” that we cannot understand from our current perspective and which shows us the progressive degradation of which we are an active part. It is the most studied, painted and referenced glacier in Europe, recreated by artists such as Friedrich, Ruskin, Turner and Violet le Duc. Through thousands of original drawings by Jesús Mari Lazkano, this short film reflects the successive evolution of the increase and disappearance of ice, the filling and emptying, like the breathing of the landscape, which ends in the ultimate landscape catastrophe and the collapse of all life.
