Tokyo – Au pays des extrêmes

With an archipelago stretching from the Siberian north to the subtropical south, and inhabitants of delicate sensitivity and subtlety, Japan, a land of extremes, reveals its many facets. The journey begins in Tokyo, the capital of Japan with its 14 million inhabitants, one of the world's most impressive megalopolises in terms of architecture. The journey continues in the Japanese countryside, where you'll meet the Japanese who live in harmony with nature.

This astonishing marriage, full of nuances, is the true identity of Japan, far from preconceived ideas and ready-made images. Like a voyage of initiation, you'll be invited to discover the art of gardens, the tea ceremony and haiku, those very short poems that express the fragility of every moment.

Maximilien Dauber, a renowned film-maker and lecturer with a long track record who likes to capture images from his travels that we don't usually see, has filmed extensively in Japan. Philippe Soreil, who needs no introduction, will accompany you on your journey.
