Synopsis
Through a poetic and committed odyssey, the film explores the natural regeneration of sites marked by the industrial and military history of the Hauts-de-France region — bunkers, slag heaps, wastelands — now reclaimed by wildlife and vegetation. Local figures (naturalists, biologists, artists, passionate observers) guide the viewer through a variety of ecosystems: ancient forests, hedgerows, white cliffs, bays, and urban areas. This sensitive journey highlights the connection between memory and biodiversity, while questioning the ecological future of the region.
