On the coldest, driest and darkest continent on Earth, there is snow, and there is ice, and there are penguins. Thousands of whom march many miles inland to breed, suffering freezing temperatures and starvation, but ultimately returning their chicks to the sea. This film is simply, and astonishingly, the story of this annual cycle, exquisitely made to enthral the whole family.
