In a century, Corsica has gone from a frozen land excluded from progress to an Island of Beauty. A little-known adventure, a mixture of dramas and passions, archaism and modernity, carelessness and courage. This documentary is constructed around never-before-seen archives, embodying the testimonies of Corsican men and women who tell their own stories, illustrated by spectacular contemporary shots. This documentary tells the romantic story of the rebirth of this land which is like no other.
