About
the film
The life and flying characteristics of the largest flying bird
in the world, the Andean condor, are explored through the research
of ornithologist Lorenzo Sympson and paraglider pilot Martin
Vallmitjana. Set in Argentine Patagonia, land of incredible
contrasts, the film shows the condor in its various habitats,
from the foothills of the Andes to the desert, glaciers, volcanoes
and the highest mountain peaks, to find the keys to the secrets
of the condor’s flight. Which air currents do they use
to reach their heights? Why do they find their food in the desert?
Why do they fly in flocks? In the mountains violent storms,
giddy heights and freezing temperatures make flying a permanent
challenge and that is where the condor shows its mastery, gliding
through the air in the most extreme conditions. |
