- This movie tells the story of the incredible reafforestation of a mountain swept by winds and rain downpours. At the end of 19th century, sheep overgrazing and industrial needs had brought down Mount Aigual forests to just about nothing and as a result flash floods often devastated cevenoles valleys. An officer of Water and Forests administration, Georges Fabre, ( Laurent Chouteau) joined by a botanist, Charles Flahaut, ( Christophe fievet) devoted all their life to the reafforestation of this mountain. They had to face many challenges, climatic, scientific and most of the time, man-made. Thanks to their persistent efforts, they succeeded however to mobilize the local population and the administrations. During a 35-year period, 68 millions of trees were planted. Its a genuine ecological adventure that Marc Khanne has directed and thanks to the local population participation in the reconstruction of many scenes, he gives a vivid picture of an exceptional pro-nature fight that is nowadays more urgent than ever. RESUME Le film raconte lhistoire incroyable du reboisement dune montagne à la croisée des vents et des déluges de pluie. A la fin du XIXème siècle, le surpâturage et lindustrie avaient réduit les forêts du mont Aigoual à une peau de chagrin, et les inondations ravageaient les vallées cévenoles. Le forestier Georges Fabre ( leurent Chouteau) suivi du botaniste Charles Flahault ( Christophe fievet) consacrent alors leur vie à la reforestation du massif. Les défis sont nombreux : climatiques, scientifiques, et surtout humains ! A force dobstination, ils réussissent cependant à entraîner avec eux la population et ladministration. En 35 ans, 68 millions darbres seront plantés ! Cest une véritable épopée écologique et positive que Marc Khanne a mis en scène en associant à son tour la population locale aux scènes de reconstitution, révélant un combat plus que jamais dactualité
