Antarctica (1988): a ship must escape from the grip of the ice to reach Terra Nova Bay. The Italian icebreaker Laura Bassi, in 2023, follows the same route and reaches the southernmost point on the planet ever reached by a ship. The narrative navigates through radio communications, making the viewer feel as if they were inside a spaceship. Human beings return to a primal state of discovery, endurance and fear. A deeply emotional experience in a remote, dangerous, and as yet little explored place.
