Eden's Ark is a journey in different times. A journey made by travellers who try to cope with several rescuing missions - a forest made up of all existing plants, threatened of disappearance; a knowledge of the world and the ability to remember it; nearly lost images which must be tracked and restored - and who in the process realise the scope of their task and their limited means to achieve it. These stories are made of images new and borrowed: moments from silent and early sound films coexist with contemporary visions. We follow this journey as its travellers cross oceans and polar deserts, search through botanical gardens and film archives, lose their way in silent forests and ghost towns - confronting extinction and memory.
