BACTERIA: A JOURNEY INTO THE INVISIBLE

All around us lies an invisible territory that knows no borders and no barriers: the world of bacteria. Long cast as enemies to be eradicated – synonymous with disease and infection – bacteria are in fact indispensable allies: tireless builders and unlikely alchemists, they sustain the balance of every ecosystem and underpin all forms of life.

Yet we have barely begun to map the bacterial world. These single-celled organisms are more numerous and more diverse than all the stars in the universe – and most remain entirely unknown to us. But today, genetic sequencing is transforming the field: across the globe, scientists are discovering new species almost daily, each with capabilities more remarkable than the last!

Drawing on the breakthroughs from leading international experts, and brought to life through spectacular AI-generated imagery, this film takes us on a captivating journey to the heart of an invisible continent – a true Eldorado where every discovery opens the door to unexpected new applications in health and ecology.
