The 'Escoffier style' is a unique cocktail of grace, speed and nerve. Minimal equipment, no tiresome need for recognition, no stress but instead betting it all on the very limits of what is thought possible along with an established daredevil reputation. Being independent, fast-paced, improvising, these were the rules he lived by. From 1985 onwards, everything he did was a success: delta, firsts, climbing, race driving... As he liked to say: "Nothing is impossible". He seemed indestructible. However, on 11 September 1987, a car accident left him hemiplegic, but not to be defeated, he soon set numerous goals.

The Amazon is the river of superlatives: the longest - 7,025 km, the most powerful, the most indomitable - no dam possible for hundreds of kilometres. Its waters cross the largest tropical forest in the world: the Amazon, "the lungs of the earth". Going against the current of this gigantism, this documentary is betting on approaching this extraordinary natural space through one of its tiniest productions: the cocoa bean. Scientists, chocolate makers, producers and farmers, many are those who, faced with the deforestation of this unique ecosystem, use this chocolate seed to recreate, on a small scale, human exploitation in harmony with nature. This film tells us about the fight of those who decided to make cocoa the spearhead of environmental defense in Brazil.

Using paragliding in the Himalayas like the cable car in the Alps to go have fun, go mountaineering or skiing is the crazy idea of a group of 7 friends who went together to Pakistan to make combos in the Himalayas!  The plan is simple, the paraglider allows you to reach the high mountains and from there it only remains to have fun. It is also the way to acclimatize to the altitude to try to fly at more than 8000m of altitude with a paraglide and to try to break the paragliding altitude world record.
