La Nuit des Animaux

This is the story of a vegetable garden, from the first seeds to the harvest. But this garden is different, because here the gardener has decided to banish pesticides and other chemicals, and to be helped only by discreet workers, the insects. As we dive into the heart of this plant kingdom, we discover thousands of tiny lives that organize themselves as in a micro-society: decomposing insects, recyclers, pollinators, the workers of the garden work to maintain a fragile balance within the vegetable garden. As the plants grow and begin to produce their first vegetables, the incredible interactions between insects and plants help protect the future harvest. But it is also their personal stories that punctuate the life of the garden. Between parades, mutual aid and attempted putsch, the story of the vegetable garden thus takes the form of a true nature tale.

There is a land nestled in the middle of the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean Sea: Guadeloupe. From the summits of the island to the luxuriant forests, passing by rivers, swamps, beaches and mangroves, the diversity of landscapes and ecosystems offers a wide variety of spectacular panoramas. Even if it is very frequented by tourists and has many inhabited areas, the island of Guadeloupe is also the land of a discreet, almost invisible people: the animals. They knew how to find their place, near or far from humans. We know of their existence. We have sometimes seen them; we have often been close to them. But rarely really approached. From the summits of the island to the depths of the ocean that surrounds it, this 100% wildlife film takes us to the most remarkable animals of Guadeloupe.
