The real place where the penguin congress takes place is also the most fictional place on this planet where you can stand on your own two legs. Here, even the animals can talk. This land of dreams and nightmares is called Antarctica. In this desert of ice surrounded by a stormy sea, a few dozen human beings also live. Using sophisticated instruments, they observe the worrying changes affecting our world: the hole in the ozone layer, climate change, and so on.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Hans-Ulrich Schlumpf's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. The Congress of Penguins is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
