600:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,635I know it meansthe storm will come

700:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,793I want to live in paradise

800:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,959I want to live in the South


1000:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,675At the south of the earth tonight

1100:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,314All is whiteI know it snowed in the night

1200:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,274Everything is coldSo cold outside

1300:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,956I try to be calmIt's a lonely trip


2/37

1400:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,194Listen to my eyesListen to my lips


1600:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,233I want to live in the South


1800:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,035At the south of the earth tonight

1900:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,315Once upon a time a garden

2000:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,153A fertile world where life was a given

2100:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,235A long time ago - before winter

2200:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,638But one day, everything was blanked

2300:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,077plants, animals

2400:02:53,880 --> 00:02:54,995Those who could flee

2500:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,636did so, but our ancestorsdecided to stay.

2600:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,995At any cost

2700:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,114And to resist tothis frostwhich was taking everything

3/37

00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,479Time has passed

2900:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,114100 times, Earth has changed its face

3000:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,115We are still there

3100:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,597We stand, light sentinels.

3200:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,119Here is our story.

3300:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,279Where are the others?

34

00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:51,396I feel dizzyleaving the Ocean.

3500:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,319Here we are, our two feetsin the snow,

3600:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,033in this countrytoo large for us.

3700:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,355Are we all here?

3800:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,559Everybody's here?

3900:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,719A day passes,and another...

4000:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,434and the third day...

4100:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,595We gathered all here today,

4/37

00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:39,956from the straightest to thehunchbakcs, all of us

4300:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,078Waiting for the signal

4400:05:43,640 --> 00:05:44,595The signal...

4500:05:44,880 --> 00:05:45,995...comes at last.

4600:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,316In this great day,One third into the year,

4700:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,597when the moon and the sun

meet at half day,

4800:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,076we, swimmers, stand upand start to walk.

4900:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,195Our kind is forever shared between

5000:06:36,280 --> 00:06:38,396

the ocean which feeds us

5100:06:38,840 --> 00:06:40,478and on the other side

5200:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,997beyond the great plainthe ice covered ocean,

5300:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,434

...a meeting.

5400:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,037We've got a rendez vous.

5500:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,157Now standing up


5/37

5600:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,556we walk, like nomads,

5700:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,916we walk one day,two days

5800:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,037ten days, twenty days.

5900:07:00,280 --> 00:07:02,475The same number of nightsthe same number of cold nights

6000:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,476Here comes the timeof the first walk

61

00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,796The walk of the long caravans

6200:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,195Above us, the sky'spaths are shining

6300:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,475The sun, the stars draweternal maps

6400:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,513Under our feets, Earth'sheart humms...

6500:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,518Humms its beautifulmagnetic fields

6600:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,378Each year,

our trek takes a new turn

6700:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,675Icebergs are like giant tramps

6800:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,353They sleep wherever winter catchesup with them!


6/37

6900:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,915Sometimes we have to make long detours

7000:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,838Going around the sleeping titans.

7100:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,275But even the oldest amongst us

7200:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,518cannot remember ever being lost

7300:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,838Despite the coldengulfing the plain

7400:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,077

despite the dreamy mountains' walls

7500:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,595caravans from all 4 corners of the horizon

7600:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,559are gathering - nearlythe same day

7700:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,634

at the same time, at the same place.

7800:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,594As if by magic.

7900:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,31710 days passand thousands of steps

8000:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,837

And another 10 daysanother thousands of steps

8100:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,194...and one morning

8200:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,516Our people gets


7/37

to the end of the trip

8300:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,633Here are the stone doorsthat witnessed our birth

8400:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,558Since the dawn of times

8500:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,477It's here, on the Oamock (river?)that we meet

8600:11:10,680 --> 00:11:12,398every year to give life.

8700:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,118No place is safer

8800:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,555Protected by granite walls

8900:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,398and the ice beneath our feet

9000:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,393will not break until summer.

91

00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,033No more order, no more stepswe all freely roam the crowd

9200:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,196...looking for our soulmate.

9300:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,795Love songs cover the Oamock

94

00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,434We marry for the whole year

9500:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,358to a single partner.

9600:12:36,680 --> 00:12:39,478Every yearit's the same.


8/37

As soon as we arrive...

9700:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,954...it's slapping time.

9800:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,918More females than males!

9900:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,596Females fierciously fight for us :-)

10000:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,594A new couple?They intervene.

10100:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,515A married male is a lost male...

102

00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,718So they dive in,push their way in.

10300:13:01,680 --> 00:13:04,319Other couples wait.

10400:14:14,800 --> 00:14:15,755Those who, like us

105

00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,837have already foundeach other...

10600:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,197...isolate themselves in the intimacyof songs and parades.

10700:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,876Our nuptial danceis opening the big winter's bal

10800:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,513(Emilie Simon)"The Frozen World"

10900:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,433Won't you open for me


9/37

11000:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,715The door to your ice world

11100:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,279To your white desert

11200:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,078I just want to stare

11300:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,637Out over these snowfields

11400:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,035Until we are one again

11500:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,035We belong to

11600:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,994the frozen world

11700:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,555When the ice

11800:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,957begins to thaw

119

00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,876Becomes the sea

12000:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,080You will see

12100:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,595How beautiful we can be

12200:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,038

You will see

12300:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,278How beautiful we

12400:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,036can be


10/37

12500:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,274Everything is cold

12600:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,275At the end of the planet

12700:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,438In our white desert

12800:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,156The sun kissed the ice

12900:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,598It glistens for me

13000:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,153And we are one again

13100:16:36,600 --> 00:16:42,554We belong to the frozen world

13200:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,037When the ice

13300:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,793begins to thaw

134

00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,875Becomes the sea

13500:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,158You will see

13600:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,513How beautiful we

13700:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,274

can be

13800:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,353We are going to dancefor the longest of winters

13900:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,379We'll lose and find


11/37

each other for 9 months

14000:17:33,414 --> 00:17:37,198If our ballet is harmonious,we shall survive

14100:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,593Too bad for those whocouldn't follow

14200:18:28,800 --> 00:18:29,994those who are erring, lost,

14300:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,037those who are late or weak.

14400:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,994At the desert's mercy,far from the Oamock's granite walls

14500:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,119Without the groups' strength,the solitary is condemned.

14600:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,473Those the march forgot slowly fade.

14700:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,355Here, white reigns -

what dies

14800:19:25,680 --> 00:19:26,795...is erased.

14900:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,519Already, winter's first tears come.

15000:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,196Soft tears, like

souvenirs from the sea

15100:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,433Love was proclaimed,

15200:20:13,120 --> 00:20:14,473Love was made,


12/37

15300:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,596all those around us keep quiet.

15400:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,918In the warmth of our bodies,a promise of life starts

15500:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,797A moon passesand we wait.

15600:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,156A moon passesand we wait.

15700:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,514Another moonand we wait.

15800:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,359Another moonand we wait.

15900:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,356Comes the 3rd moon,the time has come.

16000:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,398With our feathers, we have to cover life

the moment it appears

16100:22:07,840 --> 00:22:08,875...hide it.

16200:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,799Cold is everywhere

16300:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,834This mini heart's tremor,

hidden in its shell

16400:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,157is so vulnerable inthis huge ice land.

16500:22:19,400 --> 00:22:24,437Here, you need much more life


13/37

to create life.

16600:22:30,120 --> 00:22:33,475From now on, each of our moveaims at one single thing:

16700:22:34,640 --> 00:22:35,834keep him alive.

16800:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,479I'm worn out.

16900:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,638I need to go back to the sea,eat to keep

17000:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,518my body awake.

17100:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,276Yet, before, I need togive the egg to his father.

17200:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,835Life contained in the eggwon't resist the frost's bite

17300:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,156No more than a few seconds

17400:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,517Some couples, like this one- they must be young -

17500:23:03,760 --> 00:23:04,954are too nervous

17600:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,999Frost bites and breaks

17700:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,633the treasure of the hurried,

17800:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,796the clumsy, the unlukcy.

179


14/37

00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,035Their dance is over,

18000:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,474their year is lost.

18100:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,440Now without an aim,they'll go,

18200:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,278in an errand towards the ocean.

18300:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,837100 times, we patiently repeatthe dance...

18400:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,638...before passing the egg.

18500:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,034Again and again,we repeat the litany

18600:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,798of our songs,of our charms.

18700:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,640

Again and again,we repeat the litany

18800:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,796of our songs,of our charms.

18900:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,596In our dance's balancing act

190

00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,677lies the perfect movement

19100:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,633This little step, this little step.

19200:26:20,680 --> 00:26:21,556I'm leaving,


15/37

19300:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,718I have to walk to the ocean.

19400:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,315I'll stay with our egg,I will cover it.

19500:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,353My belly's warmth willprotect until your return.

19600:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,156Go back to the oceanand its food feasts.

19700:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,755And make sure you're back in time,

19800:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,518too feed our soon-to-born baby.

19900:26:36,760 --> 00:26:37,795We'll wait for you.

20000:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,675It's time for the 2nd walk,the march at dawn.

20100:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,194For the first time,dancers separate.

20200:27:00,440 --> 00:27:01,634I'm starving.

20300:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,516Our food is over there,beyond the desert.

20400:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,757Yet only here,on the Oamock's solid ice...

20500:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,594can our baby be born.


16/37

20600:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,357We'll go to the sea,they'll stay here.

20700:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,596They'll walk,we'll wait.

20800:27:40,840 --> 00:27:41,636Two month...

20900:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,916of misery,and fight to try to...

21000:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,713...preserve life.

211

00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,237For the last few days,the sky above darkens.

21200:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,518The sun, the mountains,the settings change.

21300:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,674It's like hearing winterpreparing its first blow.

21400:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,395We look like circus artistswith this egg on our feet.

21500:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,718We're now a single bodyrolling itself

21600:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,595

like a storm roll.

21700:30:37,880 --> 00:30:38,835We'll hold.

21800:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,798Same winter -we walk again and again


17/37

21900:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,953Cruel irony, on the ocean's back

22000:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,116we're looking for the door.

22100:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,474Here, under the ice, fishes swim.

22200:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,633Here, on the ice, the storm blows.

22300:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,113The starving walkers suffer.

22400:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,073The smell of water...

22500:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,118We can smell the water.

22600:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,598The entrance isn't far.

22700:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,354Here we are.

22800:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,275The ocean at last!

22900:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,399Caress of the water,

23000:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,276everywhere, the light showsthe way to the abyss.

23100:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,717Over there, past the bluegateway to the deep,

23200:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,353...the table is ready.

233


18/37

00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,477"Song of the sea"

23400:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,674See

23500:36:14,720 --> 00:36:19,077how I fly

23600:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,955In the sea

23700:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,759Like in the sky

23800:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,033You set me free

239

00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,799Sometimes, the wind leaves a bitof fresh snow for us

24000:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,513...it quenches our thirst.

24100:37:51,720 --> 00:37:53,9153 months without any food!

242

00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,475We defy winter and reachlife's limits.

24300:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,035Some pass the border,they fall asleep, slowly.

24400:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,040White spreads little by littleover their body,

24500:38:07,320 --> 00:38:08,878which disappear forever.

24600:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,154Nightime

247


19/37

00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,997...we crawl under the storms,cold rules.

24800:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,519It has no name.

24900:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,679We hold without failing, underthe mother of all blizzards

25000:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,599melded together, a single body,like the scale

25100:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,558...of turltes are fitted.

25200:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,718

Night's daughters wear theirbest veils.

25300:39:17,960 --> 00:39:18,756They run

25400:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,673...under the stars,dance to the wind's song.

255

00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,435Be courageous, enslaved people,this dance is going

25600:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,474To the sky's limit,looking for the sun who forgot us.

25700:39:56,120 --> 00:39:56,916How soft is

25800:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,479the sea's water!

25900:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,357We enjoy the oceanas long as we can.

260


20/37

00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:08,116But on the Oamock, lifewill soon need us.

26100:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,436With a single jawbite,the monster erased two lives

26200:40:59,720 --> 00:41:03,235...the life of the trapped motherand that of her baby

26300:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,158who will never be fed.

26400:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,840We are still petrifiedby terror.

265

00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,394Around us, the nighthas the smell of frost

26600:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,155we remember the ice's noise

26700:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,914so different from the ocean's songs

268

00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:57,995It's time for the return

26900:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,955time for the 3rd march,the walk of the moon.

27000:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,476In the endless night,we find our way to our land of cold.

27100:42:08,720 --> 00:42:10,836We bring back lots of foodto feed our babies.

27200:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,475People are waiting for us.

273


21/37

00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:14,999We have to hurry.

27400:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,877Our gaping night takes forever

27500:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,754...and get bogged,a 100 days long night,

27600:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,315filled with coldand turmoil.

27700:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,433Yet... this morning...something...

27800:43:31,720 --> 00:43:32,914

...sparkles in the air.

27900:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,198The light is back.

28000:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,795We have vainquished winter.

28100:44:40,760 --> 00:44:41,795Life...

28200:44:42,440 --> 00:44:46,638so small, so beautiful, unrealin this cold that erodes us.

28300:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,400We reachedthe summit of our torment.

28400:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,717

From now on, each daywill bring a stronger sun,

28500:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,758which frees the youngsfrom their shells.

28600:44:58,640 --> 00:44:59,755


22/37

Where are they?

28700:45:01,080 --> 00:45:02,354But where are they?

28800:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,434How long have webeen going around like that?

28900:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,874Dawn's first glow hasawaken winter.

29000:45:27,080 --> 00:45:28,877It enrages, it increases.

29100:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,395Cold is so strong that it finally...

29200:45:31,720 --> 00:45:32,994...froze the wind.

29300:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,557It tighten its grip on us,locks us stronger,

29400:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,438...clenches stronger.

29500:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,556So we turn, so as notto be too exposed to the cold

29600:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,034...our back to the cold.

29700:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,196Heat exists, at the turtle's hearth,hidden under the heads.

29800:45:48,880 --> 00:45:52,316At our feet, babies appear,always more plentiful.

29900:46:07,160 --> 00:46:08,195Where are they?


23/37

30000:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,396As soon as they hatch out,the babies are hungry.

30100:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,274The mothers have tocome back!

30200:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,313In this cold,their energy fades so quickly.

30300:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,593And I am exhaused,4 months without any food.

30400:47:10,800 --> 00:47:11,835I am empty.

30500:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,675Barely enough to walkanother 20 days.

30600:47:16,120 --> 00:47:20,03320 days... the eternitythat separates us from the ocean.

30700:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,677So this evening, if his mother

hasn't come back,

30800:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,753...I'll have to go,abandon my child.

30900:47:42,080 --> 00:47:46,198But before we give up,there's still a chance.

310

00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,554The hidden part,a few crumbles...

31100:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,115...preserved deep inside my body,

31200:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,276


24/37

...despite these months of starvation.

31300:47:58,680 --> 00:48:02,878A few more hours of life.I had kept them...

31400:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,517...for you,in expecation of this moment.

31500:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,794Who will win?Life or winter?

31600:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,958For some,it's already too late.

31700:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,319

We walk, and in us,life shrieks:

31800:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,158Hurry up!Hurry up!

31900:48:43,480 --> 00:48:47,519He, she, is born, needing you,He, she will not hold for long, now.

32000:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,995Frightened for no reason,a lot of wasted time.

32100:50:06,160 --> 00:50:07,559We push our speed.

32200:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,958The wind brings puffsof familiar scents.

32300:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,754The colony's not far,faster!

32400:50:21,680 --> 00:50:22,954The Oamock, at last!


25/37

32500:50:24,880 --> 00:50:26,233Who will I find?

32600:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,157Is my baby dead?Is he or she still alive?

32700:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,078Where in this crowd are you?

32800:51:28,600 --> 00:51:29,635Where are you?

32900:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,198This voice...This chant coming towards me...

33000:51:46,680 --> 00:51:48,875

This baby calling,is he or she mine?

33100:51:49,080 --> 00:51:50,638Come on, sing!

33200:52:27,320 --> 00:52:28,435You did hold!

33300:52:30,480 --> 00:52:31,993

You came back in time!

33400:52:32,640 --> 00:52:33,755You are still here.

33500:52:35,200 --> 00:52:39,113And you, I only meet you now,my marvelous son of the winter,

33600:52:39,880 --> 00:52:40,995

...my little baby.

33700:52:54,360 --> 00:52:58,478Do you remember the dance,our songs in the times of love?

33800:52:58,800 --> 00:52:59,676Here they are again...


26/37

33900:52:59,960 --> 00:53:02,315...renewed to celebrateyour return.

34000:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,476I must take our child,and you must leave hastilly.

34100:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,918A short moment,a precious moment.

34200:53:25,040 --> 00:53:26,996Within one step, we'll be separated,

34300:53:27,240 --> 00:53:31,358...Soon we'll be 1 000 winters apart,let's make the most of it!

34400:54:01,400 --> 00:54:02,674Another instant.

34500:54:04,360 --> 00:54:05,918Youngster, listen carefullyto my voice

34600:54:06,160 --> 00:54:09,277...thanks to my voice

you'll recognise me one day.

34700:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,037I'd like to be able topromise I'll come back.

34800:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,158It's my turn to leave.

34900:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,074

My strength desert me,I have to complete...

35000:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,555...the most dangerouspart of the trip:

35100:54:46,800 --> 00:54:48,358


27/37

the march of the starved ones.

35200:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,159The ultimate march,

35300:54:50,560 --> 00:54:54,314the march which decimates usevery year.

35400:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,475Here it comes at last - renewal.

35500:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,559Slowly, light blossomson the Oamock.

35600:56:18,320 --> 00:56:22,233Like the sun, our youngsgrow stronger day by day.

35700:56:22,720 --> 00:56:23,835But summer is still far.

35800:56:24,160 --> 00:56:27,516No way we'll let our youngs out.

35900:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,274They are so frail,They need...

36000:56:30,600 --> 00:56:31,999our warmth.

36100:56:32,840 --> 00:56:34,637Around us,

36200:56:34,920 --> 00:56:36,035frost lurks.

36300:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,91410 days pass bythen 10 more days.

36400:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,758And one beautiful morning...

365


28/37

00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,276I am going for my first walkby myself!

36600:57:36,120 --> 00:57:37,473Oh, it's like a nettle...

36700:57:37,760 --> 00:57:38,875under the paw (clawed feet)!

36800:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,035I'm cold!It's funny, it tickles!

36900:57:47,440 --> 00:57:51,035Here, my first walk,the march of the free chick!

37000:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,758

Cold is bringing them backunder our paws.

37100:58:13,000 --> 00:58:14,877But they made...

37200:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,118...the great jump.A page of their life has been turned.

373

00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,478We haven't seen snow running like that.

37400:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,319Adults sqeeze together,they are worrying.

37500:59:09,520 --> 00:59:11,397This wind is no bearer of good news.

376

00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:13,598The dying winter is kicking us...

37700:59:13,880 --> 00:59:15,438...with it last blizzard.

37800:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,353We think cold lost


29/37

its arrogance,

37900:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,279...but our youngs think otherwise.They'll have to be strong.

38000:59:21,560 --> 00:59:23,596The time of their initiation has come.

38100:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,957It's the dreaded moment oftheir first turmoil.

38200:59:27,240 --> 00:59:31,233Can't you hear my storm comingStones falling on to you

38300:59:34,840 --> 00:59:38,913Can't you feel the earth shaking

Big dark clouds forming now

38400:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,913And I hope you're satisfied

38500:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,639I hope you're satisfied


38700:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,157To see the wind

38800:59:53,440 --> 00:59:55,874blow over me

38900:59:57,920 --> 01:00:00,195Can't you hear my sky shouting

39001:00:00,520 --> 01:00:02,238Close, chasing after you

39101:00:05,280 --> 01:00:09,398Deep, dark fear building upIt's too strong for you

392


30/37

01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:15,117And I hope you're satisfied



39501:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,078To see the wind

39601:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,195Blow

39701:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,596over me

398

01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,674Can't you hear my storm coming

39901:00:41,640 --> 01:00:43,198Stones falling

40001:00:45,520 --> 01:00:48,318Big dark clouds

40101:00:48,600 --> 01:00:50,238

forming now

40201:01:45,880 --> 01:01:50,396The wind leaves, on its trail,mothers looking for their child.

40301:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,156Trembling lost chicks.

40401:01:55,720 --> 01:01:59,156

And a harvest of lost lives,swept away by the cold.

40501:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,838All these efforts brokenby a gust of wind.

40601:03:00,280 --> 01:03:01,838

Some find it unbearable.

40701:03:02,080 --> 01:03:03,638They need a child, at any price.

40801:03:03,840 --> 01:03:07,037Life has to keep on growingon their feet.

40901:03:07,600 --> 01:03:11,354So, they perpetrate the mostinconceivable act.

41001:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,114In a moment of crazyness,the steal...

41101:03:14,440 --> 01:03:15,839...someone else's child.

41201:03:59,280 --> 01:04:03,159That was just! I thought theywould crush me!

41301:04:03,480 --> 01:04:04,595You saved me!

41401:04:06,880 --> 01:04:08,279It feels good to be close to you.

41501:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,433Happy birthday, short legs!One month ago...

41601:05:01,720 --> 01:05:04,075...we were hatching out of our shells,now we run.

41701:05:04,280 --> 01:05:05,156

Not bad, innit?

41801:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,517We don't even need our mothersto get warm.

41901:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,036Sometimes, we'd really like to...


32/37

42001:05:11,360 --> 01:05:13,396...go under the warm duvet.

42101:05:21,600 --> 01:05:25,434There's always one or twowho slouch in the pockets.

42201:05:25,760 --> 01:05:28,513They pretend to be cold,but for them, same system:

42301:05:28,720 --> 01:05:31,757Stand up, your two pawson the ice, and walk!

42401:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,038When time's up,time is up!

42501:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,476Now, we arein-de-pen-dent!

42601:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,275When we are cold,there's the child care centre.

42701:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,717

Not bad, we aggregateand keep warm.

42801:05:52,640 --> 01:05:54,517A bit like our fathersmaking a big turtle.

42901:05:54,720 --> 01:05:56,597But it's hard to stay in place.

430

01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:51,077I'm going to have to leave you alone,I'll be back quickly.

43101:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,358I need to go and fishto nourish you.

432


33/37

01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:58,116You'll stay here,your father should be there soon.

43301:06:59,480 --> 01:07:01,357You'll recognise his chant.

43401:07:01,720 --> 01:07:03,073He'll recognise yours.

43501:07:11,840 --> 01:07:14,354I'm not too fond ofstaying alone.

43601:07:16,200 --> 01:07:17,838Wait! I'm a little bit afraid.

43701:08:47,120 --> 01:08:47,996Alert!

43801:08:48,320 --> 01:08:51,153The long wings are coming!Hurry, to the day care centre!

43901:08:51,440 --> 01:08:54,000Oh! What about those ones,left alone over there!

44001:10:55,960 --> 01:10:59,236

It's over for that one.She'll never see the sea.

44101:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,116Here they come!The fathers are back!

44201:11:51,960 --> 01:11:53,916Is my father with them?

443

01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:40,954Yes, it's him, I'm know it.Yes, it's you, I know it.

44401:13:05,400 --> 01:13:07,277Adults keep on going and coming back.

44501:13:07,520 --> 01:13:08,555

They have two sides:

44601:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,473The white one, it's the full belliescoming back.

44701:13:11,680 --> 01:13:14,558The black one, empty bellies leaving.

44801:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,758As for us, front or back,we are grey.

44901:13:18,000 --> 01:13:19,513We are always hungry!

45001:13:41,720 --> 01:13:43,915Sometimes come dayswe can't even dream of.

45101:13:44,200 --> 01:13:46,634For weeks, we havefed our kid...

45201:13:46,880 --> 01:13:49,553...separated, never meeting up.

45301:13:49,840 --> 01:13:53,116And here we are, reunited

by the finest of all hasards.

45401:13:59,840 --> 01:14:02,957Our kid is strong,our kid is lovely.

45501:14:05,600 --> 01:14:07,955On the wake of the last march,

45601:14:08,160 --> 01:14:11,197

let's promise to meetfor next season...

45701:14:11,440 --> 01:14:14,238...to dance again,maybe tie the knot...

45801:14:14,520 --> 01:14:16,158


35/37

...for another winter.

45901:14:41,040 --> 01:14:43,634It's been a few days,it's always sunny...

46001:14:43,920 --> 01:14:46,593...and there's no night.The icefield groans,

46101:14:46,880 --> 01:14:48,996...it looks like it wants to leave.

46201:15:03,200 --> 01:15:04,679It's time to depart.

46301:15:05,360 --> 01:15:08,318The ocean calls me,it will call you soon.

46401:15:08,560 --> 01:15:11,597To life, little son of winter,to life!

46501:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,274There ends our last march.

46601:15:31,560 --> 01:15:34,597The separation march,

that of the return...

46701:15:34,880 --> 01:15:38,236...to the sea. We leavethe Oamock for this year.

46801:15:38,480 --> 01:15:42,473The time of the couples has passed away,the dance is finished.

469

01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:45,717The dancers leave their separate way.

47001:16:13,160 --> 01:16:13,956We return to...

47101:16:14,200 --> 01:16:16,236the water for the year's most


36/37

beautiful moons.

47201:16:16,480 --> 01:16:19,836Three months of ocean,Three months of summer,

47301:16:20,120 --> 01:16:21,439...of swimming and pleasure!

47401:16:27,480 --> 01:16:29,596These last few days,we feel strange.

47501:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,394We don't even want to eat,maybe...

47601:16:32,680 --> 01:16:34,398...we are becoming adults?

47701:17:01,080 --> 01:17:03,878Time for us to answer the call.

47801:17:04,080 --> 01:17:06,355Like our parents camefrom the sea,

47901:17:06,600 --> 01:17:09,273...it's our turn

to walk towards the ocean.

48001:17:09,480 --> 01:17:12,199We leave the Oamockto join our people...

48101:17:12,480 --> 01:17:14,755...in the gentle deep.

48201:17:57,520 --> 01:17:59,476

Little ice walkers,here comes the time...

48301:17:59,800 --> 01:18:01,836...of metamorphosis,we became...

48401:18:02,160 --> 01:18:05,755


37/37

...children of the ocean,amongst children of the ocean.

48501:18:28,280 --> 01:18:32,114One day, far away,this famous day of 1/3 of the year

48601:18:32,320 --> 01:18:35,357...when the sun and the moonmeet in the sky,

48701:18:35,600 --> 01:18:36,919...we'll have to jump...

48801:18:37,160 --> 01:18:39,355...out of the sea and becomewalkers again.

48901:18:39,600 --> 01:18:42,160

Faithfull to our forefathers' oath,

49001:18:42,360 --> 01:18:44,635...we'll come back hereto dance for life...

49101:18:44,840 --> 01:18:48,719...during the biggest winter,and perpetuate...

492

01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:50,638...the march of the Emperor.
