The “Radeau des Cimes”, a gigantic and remarkable inflatable structure designed for the exploration and study of forest canopies, embarks on a thrilling expedition to Madagascar.

Over fifty international scientists take turns at the summit of one of the last virgin forests on Earth to conduct an in-depth study of the region’s extraordinary fauna and flora.

Night shoots and daring acrobatics are required to follow these exceptional researchers at close range. Whether in an airship, aboard a strange inflatable sled, or within a modular platform, they reveal the mysteries of a fascinating ecosystem that must be preserved.
