Synopsis
A visceral journey into the beating heart of the planet’s most remote wilderness, Antarctica - Domain One is an urgent cinematic testament to the beauty and fragility of Earth’s southernmost frontier.
Narrated by Ricardo Darín, this documentary follows the audacious expedition of the Gauchos del Mar brothers —sailors, surfers, and storytellers— as they voyage from Ushuaia to the icy waters of the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula. Battling gale-force winds, treacherous seas, and bone-chilling cold, the crew’s odyssey unfolds as an immersive adventure that transcends sport and spectacle.
Revealing the stark consequences of climate change on a continent that belongs to all humanity, the film has been screened at international environmental forums—including the United Nations Ocean Conference—where it is increasingly used as a tool for awareness and advocacy. Through breathtaking imagery and voices from renowned conservationists, the journey expands into a global campaign to protect Domain 1 as a vital Marine Protected Area at the core of Earth’s climate system.
