This film was made on the premises of the French Polar Expeditions in the presence of Paul-Émile VICTOR, expedition leader GUIARD, Mario MARRET, the doctor and members of the Expeditions. In the course of this off-the-cuff discussion, various problems encountered during the expeditions were raised, such as sexuality and homosexuality, relations between Paris and the teams on site, hard knocks and safety, the scientific interest of the expeditions, relations between the members and the expedition leader, etc. Illustrated with images taken from other films made for the Polar Expeditions, this film is a reflection on 20 years of exploration in Antarctica and Greenland.
