Description:

The video tells, in a musical and humorous way, the daily life of thirteen winter-over crew members at Concordia Station, located 3,200 meters above sea level in the heart of Antarctica. Surrounded by snowstorms, endless silence, and hypoxia, the team faces nine months of isolation with courage and team spirit. The scenes alternate between epic moments – technical work, scientific research, starry nights – and funny gags where coffee becomes a mission, a surreal figure dances through the corridors, and laughter warms the coldest days. The choral refrain unites the crew in an anthem of resilience and friendship, while the finale shows them lined up with their suitcases, ready to say goodbye to winter and wait for the first summer flight.

Simona Grimaldi (Station Leader), Matteo Beltrame (Astronomer), Julien Castel (Mechanic), Julien Lacrampe (Electrotechnician), Clément Arrat (Atmosphere Chemistry), Valentin Jarnole (Plumber), Thomas Pagano (Physics of the Atmosphere), Erik Geletti (ICT)
