Episode synopsis
Frédéric Rossif offers us across Africa a vivid image of our most distant past, which we like to believe the elephant has preserved in its slow memory. The pelican, the osprey, the koala, the chameleon, and above all the elephant, which symbolizes "the immutable" through its stability and longevity, are the living reflection of the African soul and culture, which have forged a genuine intimacy with the animal world.
