The ocean contains the history of all humanity. The sea holds the voices of the Earth and those that come from outer space. Water receives impetus from the stars and transmits it to living creatures. Water, the longest border in Chile, also holds the secret of a mysteriousbutton that was discovered in its seabed. Chile, with its 2,670 miles of coastline, the largest archipelago in the world, presents a supernatural landscape. In it are volcanoes, mountains and glaciers. In it are the voices of the Patagonian indigenous people, of the first English sailors and also those of its political prisoners. Some say that water has memory. This film shows that it also has a voice.
L’océan recèle l’histoire de toute l’humanité. Dans la mer se trouvent toutes les voix de la Terre ainsi que celles venant de l’espace. L’eau reçoit la force des astres et la transmet aux êtres vivants. L’eau, la frontière la plus longue du Chili, renferme aussi le secret d’un bouton mystérieux trouvé dans ses profondeurs. Le Chili, avec 4000 km de côtes et le plus vaste archipel au monde, nous offre un paysage surnaturel, des volcans, des montagnes, des glaciers. Nous entendons la voix des indigènes de la Patagonie, celle des premiers navigateurs anglais et celle des prisonniers politiques. Certains disent que l’eau a une mémoire. Ce film montre qu’elle a aussi une voix.
