Along its 1000 km course, from the tiny mountain stream to the wide estuary, the Loire shows multiple faces. Today better protected, it sees long-extinct species returning to its waters and along its banks, such as the beaver or the stork, and welcomes new ones, such as the catfish or the coypu.

In spring, its floods become both essential to life and extremely destructive. In their burrows along the banks, will kingfishers and bee-eaters be able to lay eggs without their nests being flooded? Will shrews and beavers be able to establish new territories when the water level finally drops?

This film makes us discover the incredible wealth of this great wild river through the lives that populate its banks and its waters.
