The next great voyage of human exploration has already begun: the search for life on planets orbiting distant stars.

That they can jump more than 40 times their size? With more than 40,000 species, the spider offers a rich field of study for international scientists. Thanks to some extraordinary filming techniques, this documentary takes us to the heart of the world of spiders – a world which remains largely a mystery, even though we live with spiders on a daily basis
