Once upon a time, there was a town called Aeropolis, which housed not only human beings, but also aerosols. What is it? A tiny grain or a droplet surrounded by gas, which lives in the atmosphere. Those aerosols are called atmospheric particles. In the course of this 6 min short movie, shot in stop motion and with the collaboration of the ADEME, you will be introduce to where they're from, how they evolve in the atmosphere, and what are their impact on our health and our environment.

You will meet with Romeo and Juliet, Cyrano de Bergerac and the West Side Story dancers that will come with you trough this trip in air masses. By means of wood, cardboard, old fabrics, painting and a lot of recycling, those particles come to life to share with you a moment of cinema, theater and most of all, a moment of science.
