In the beginning was the mud

Water and mud are probably the most conducive fields for life to emerge. It is from micro-organisms that life can develop, as it began to take shape four billion years ago. To understand the mysteries, Daniel Guiral, aquatic ecology specialist, has installed a water laboratory on the coast of French Guiana. In his footsteps, Luc Riolon filmed the whole cycle of life, from microscopic to macroscopic.
