Often the truth is hidden for the contemporary man. So just a few know that the fiercest predator is an oyster, or that mermaids really existed in Provence Alps.
This documentary film is a trip to Joan Fontcuberta’s world and reveals his unbelievable discoveries in the misty land that exists between fiction and reality.
Dedicated to all skeptics of the world.
