Una giovane turista (Fiore Argento) perde contatto con la comitiva di cui fa parte in una valle svizzera e viene trucidata. Jennifer (Jennifer Connelly), una ragazzina americana, arriva in un collegio svizzero per completare i suoi studi e apprende strane storie di ragazzine scomparse nei paraggi. Jennifer soffre di sonnambulismo (da cui per la verità credeva di essere guarita) e vagando di notte viene a contatto con l’assassino, anche se non lo vede. Trova rifugio presso un entomologo, il professor John McGregor (Donald Pleasence), che, paralitico, è assistito da una scimmietta. Jennifer ha una strano rapporto di attrazione con gli insetti ed è infatti una lucciola a guidarla la notte seguente, durante un’altra crisi di sonnambulismo, sino al cadavere della sua compagna di stanza Sophie (Federica Mastroianni).

Fiona, orfana di madre, va a vivere a casa dei nonni sulla costa occidentale dell'Irlanda. Dalla finestra della sua camera può vedere l'isola di Roan Inish, dalla quale proviene la sua famiglia e alla quale sono legate alcune leggende: il fratellino di Fiona, scivolato in mare con la culla durante il trasferimento dall'isola, sarebbe ancora vivo, e abiterebbe sull'isola. Fiona cerca di convincere i nonni a tornare sull'isola di Roan. Fatato, elegante, delicatissimo nel suo incrocio di leggende celtiche e aspro realismo. Sayles, regista indipendente americano, non cede mai al manierismo e asseconda il passo della favola anche quando riprende le fatiche quotidiane dei pescatori, e alla fine persino le foche e i gabbiani sembrano creature mitologiche.

What if there was a museum that contained every type of life form in the universe? This experience takes you on a tour through the possible forms alien life might take, from the eerily familiar to the utterly exotic, ranging from the inside of the Earth to the most hostile corners of the universe. New research is upending our idea of life and where it could be hiding: not just on Earth-like planets, where beings could mimic what our planet has produced, but in far flung places like the hearts of dead stars and the rings of gas giant planets. Nowhere in the universe is off limits. Only when we know what else is out there will we truly know ourselves. This thought experiment will give us a glimpse into what could be out there, how we might find it, and just how far nature’s imagination might stretch.
The bleakness of Antarctica is a fallacy. The ice continent is full of life and offers a biodiversity of which only about two percent are known. Much of it is under water and could determine the future of human beings. When the northern lights cover the ice landscape in summer, the animals in the Antarctic are in a paradisiacal state. Whales blow their fountains in the sky, penguins fly like small rockets into the water, seals dive for crabs under the glittering ice floes. From the bay of the Ross Sea to the ice shelf, from the huge penguin colonies to steaming volcanoes, a life in rhythm with the ice. But the consequences of climate change are slowly becoming apparent here too. While some species are dying, others are spreading. They could bring new viruses and bacteria with them, and new dangers for humans too. The structure of nature has gotten off course. How many generations will still be able to experience the magic of Antarctica?
