Director’s statement about the film

In this short movie, i wanted to tell more about the « life of icebergs » and their hazardous travel untill they melt. By using time laps capture, i could show the way they move, sometimes dance...

The short tends more and more to fiction when the relationship between man and nature gets closer. It ends on an absurd way, but based on reel facts.
