documentary
At the very edge of the known world, where ice shapes the landscape and imposes its law on humans, "Plein Sud" traces one of the great scientific and human adventures of the 20th century: the Belgian Antarctic expedition of 1957–1958, led by Gaston de Gerlache de Gomery, son of explorer Adrien de Gerlache. The film documents in detail the construction of the Roi Baudouin polar base and the daily life of the scientists facing cold, wind, and isolation. It highlights both the discipline needed for survival and the moments of fraternity and solidarity within the group. Over the seasons, the scientific mission intensifies, until a dramatic accident disrupts the expedition. Through archival footage, "Plein Sud" questions humanity's place before nature, the tension between scientific achievement and humility, and highlights the spirit of international cooperation.
