Une aventure scientifique à la rencontre des baobabs de Madagascar et des Vezo, peuple nomade de la mer.

Par leur taille impressionnante et leurs formes originales, les baobabs figurent parmi les arbres les plus remarquables. Encore mal connus à Madagascar, les géants sont actuellement menacés par la déforestation. Pour les étudier au coeur de leurs forêts, Cyrille Cornu et Wilfried Ramahafaly partent en pirogue à balancier explorer 400 kilomètres de côtes sauvages et isolée dans l’ouest malgache !
Le film relate l’expédition. Il dévoile les nombreuses découvertes, rencontres et résultats scientifiques des deux explorateurs dans une partie de l’île très peu étudiée. Il présente des baobabs et paysages qui n’avaient pour la plupart jamais été filmés ni même photographiés !

A scientific adventure to encounter the baobabs of Madagascar and the Vezo, a nomadic tribe of the sea.

By their sheer size and original shapes, baobabs are among the most remarkable trees on the planet. Relatively unknown in Madagascar, these giants are currently threatened by deforestation. To study them, in the heart of their forests, Cyrille Cornu and Wilfried Ramahafaly travel by pirogue, exploring 400 km of wild and isolated coastline in the southwest of Madagascar. The film chronicles the expedition. It reveals discoveries, encounters and scientific results of the two explorers, baobabs and landscapes that had mostly never been filmed or even photographed.
