These planes are the only ones in the world able to land on very short dirt runways which often end in a ravine. Elsewhere in this country, other pilots risk their lives, every day. This is the case of Jose Gutuierez, the pilot of the great plains of Colombia. His job is to fly less than a meter from the ground to spray pesticides or fertilizers in the fields. The slightest inattention can be fatal

Treffen Sie den Kaiser, Jugular, Makkaroni, Adélie und die Papua. Verbringen Sie ein Jahr mit ihnen in den eisigen Gewässern der Antarktis. Fallen Sie nicht von den Klippen, wenn Sie Ihren Partner der Hausarbeit überlassen, und achten Sie darauf, die richtige Welle zu erwischen, indem Sie vor Sonnenuntergang zurückkehren, um sich um Ihren Nachwuchs zu kümmern. Seien Sie vorsichtig mit Ihren Kollegen, die immer bereit sind, Sie aus Ihrem Eisberg zu stoßen. Halten Sie immer etwas Abstand zu ihnen, wenn Sie zu Ihrem Partner zurückkehren, da Sie an der Reihe sind, sich in den nächsten zwei Wochen um Ihre Federn zu kümmern. Wenn Sie Ihre Familie wiedersehen möchten, meiden Sie vor allem alle Leoparden- oder Seelöwenkomitees. Achten Sie auf das schlafende Wasser und behalten Sie die Bucht immer im Auge. Wie fühlst du dich in den Schuhen eines Pinguins? Unter sorgfältiger Vermeidung von Anthropomorphismus taucht dieser Film den Betrachter auf humorvolle Weise in die Intimität der antarktischen Pinguine ein und lädt ihn zu einer einjährigen Reise von der Spitze Südamerikas in das Herz der Antarktis ein. Um dieses intime Porträt zu schaffen, bestiegen die Filmemacher der Saint Thomas-Produktionen Eisbrecher, um in den feindlichsten Meeren der Welt und im Winter im Herzen der Antarktischen Halbinsel zu zirkulieren. Ein einzigartiges Porträt, das das Tiergenre revolutioniert und gleichzeitig sein Vermögen bewahrt: Indem es das Bild liebenswerter Charaktere einfügt, die sich nur durch ihr suggestives oder bewegendes Verhalten auszeichnen, ermöglicht es eine gewisse Identifizierung des Betrachters. Eine solche Erzählung "Pirouette" würde mit anderen Tieren nicht funktionieren: Das watscheln und allgemeine Aussehen von Pinguinen erinnert uns sofort an Menschen.

Widowed later in life, he remarried with Éléonore de Habsbourg, the sister of Charles Quint. Francis 1st is undoubtedly one of the builders of the modern state in France.
