- Dipper is the only passerine, to walk and swim under water. Weighing less than 75 g, dipper is yet capable of exceptional prowess. It is in fact, almost two hours a day, that it passes under the tumultuous water of fast and limpid streams. Discreet and fearful, he is misunderstood and sometimes persecuted. It is nevertheless a bio-indicator of water quality. To meet him Yannick Alram spent nearly 1000 hours in river Hers and offers unique images of dipper underwater.
- Various testimonies, already old people, explain how they celebrated when they were children the festivals of the calendar: the Candelera, Carnival, Holy Week, Saint John and Christmas; how was life in the village and on farms, living with bears and wolves in the Pyrenees and how Occitan was treated in school 70 years ago. This documentary is a project for the protection and transmission of the Occitan oral tradition. All these testimonies have made it possible to collect the Occitan oral heritage representative of the language and culture of the Ariège region.
