A whale existed 5 million years ago. Mark found her skeleton and decided to reassemble the pieces in a dusty basement of the Science Museum in Brussels. A filmmaker found Mark and decided to film him, the whale, and the dust. While these bones are put back together, like pieces from a puzzle, we try to imagine how life was 5 million years ago, a time before humans existed, but the sea and the sun were already here.
Within one screening of this movie, you also will be able to watch the films We are on the map, The Wild Girl of Brushvalley Township, Quebrante, How I Spent My Summer Holidays?
