The strange patrons of a bar become even stranger when the moon falls from the night sky. Confusion reigns; a business mogul's pedantry clashes with a diva's hypnotic lyrics, the bartender's smile grows suspicious, and the bus boy spills every drink he touches.

When the polar lights of summer cover the ice landscape, the animals in the Antarctic are in a paradise. Whales blow their meter-high fountains towards the sky, penguins fly like small rockets in the water, seals dive for crabs under the glittering ice floes. The Ross Sea is one of the last areas where the magic of the ice continent can still be experienced. The film approaches this unique region via the sub-Antarctic islands of New Zealand. Here life is blooming, here it is green and free of ice. This is what Antarctica could have looked like before the continent split off from the supercontinent Gondwana 180 million years ago and drifted towards the South Pole. The transformation is part of its essence, its biological diversity has remained to this day. From the Ross Sea bay to the ice shelf, from the huge penguin colonies to steaming volcanoes - each station opens a world full of surprises and full of life in rhythm with the ice. But slowly the consequences of climate change are also becoming apparent on the Ross Sea. While some species are dying, others are spreading. They could bring new viruses and bacteria with them, and new dangers for humans too. The structure of nature has gotten off course. How many generations will still be able to experience the magic of Antarctica?

In 1989, thirteen GDR scientists and technicians set off from East Berlin to the Georg Forster research station in the Antarctic. During their expedition the Berlin Wall fell on November 9th. Cut off from the images that go around the world, the men can only experience the historical events passively. When they return in the spring of 1991, their homeland is a foreign country. The documentary reconstructs the thoughts and feelings of the East German researchers on the basis of eyewitness accounts, diary excerpts, letters, film material, grandiose landscape shots from the location of the action and unique photos to make the consequences of the events tens of thousands of kilometers away on the small GDR expedition in the middle of the eternal ice tangible.

Costa Rica, a small Central American country, makes admirable efforts to preserve its biodiversity -equal to all Europe- by protecting vast tracts of forest, which rangers and scientists watch, as nature must return after past human (agricultural, logging ...) incursions. The prime indicator of the jungle ecosystem health is the apex predator, the jaguar, and his main prey, the also endangered peccary (wild porcine). Other key species include other felines (e.g. puma), the tapir -who makes bush paths-, various hummingbird - and monkey species, who spread seeds. Some species are rare and extremely inter-dependent, like certain macaws, including an emerald-iridescent one which nests only in dead branches of the wild almond tree. Despite poaching, reintroduction and natural growing back progress well, with the native tribes allowed inside nature reserves willing to adapt for the sake of wildlife.
