When I was younger, I hated my body as much as I was obsessed by images of "Nature". On the one hand, I told myself they were sublime, and that's why they existed, and on the other, I felt that as a woman, if people didn't look at me, I'd disappear. The film runs around my character's experience. Initially fascinated by images, then by their bulimic production, my gaze changes, questioning myself and asking : why I made images of nature ?
 A succession of sequences illustrating various forms of representation of nature, such as wildlife films, Natural parks and zoos, are set in motion around my personal experience as a wildlife filmmaker,visual artist, ornithologist, woman and body.
