Vast Blue Antarctica

How does it feel to live in the most iso­lat­ed place of the plan­et? Does time mat­ter there? Do you only dream in white? These are some of the ques­tions Alexan­dre Gau­ti­er, a French wood­work­er who works in the main­te­nance ser­vice for the infra­struc­ture of the French sci­en­tif­ic mis­sion in Antarc­ti­ca, tries to answer in this ani­mat­ed doc­u­men­tary. The film fol­lows Alexandre’s train of thoughts about Antarc­ti­ca, the vast white­ness of the con­ti­nent, lone­li­ness and the pur­pose of life. He recalls mem­o­ries from the past, pon­ders on his cur­rent sit­u­a­tion and sketch­es out his vision and dreams about the future, try­ing to give an answer to the ulti­mate ques­tion of ​“where is home?”
