Les Hommes, French filmmaker Ariane Michel’s first feature documentary, is a cinematic exploration of Greenland. It captures the natural environment—the ice, stones, and animals of the country—during the annual visit of a group of scientists who come to perform research.
An audience is guided through a forest. Invited to settle in a clearing converted into a "cinema", they discover a nocturnal film that begins like a kind of animal fiction, but gradually offers a disturbance on the moment lived. The film is an mise en abyme, a deforming mirror: the reality lived and its temporality are slightly twisted.
