Mannequin hands hold a pair of dice. A castle is perched on a hilltop. Below it, a posh, modern villa. Meanwhile, far from Paris, two men with masked faces play dice in a bar. They decide to drive to Paris. Country roads, hills, fences. The posh "chateau" appears again: meticulous garden, fancy interior, odd sculptures. And at home? "No one, NO ONE." For the next two days, masked figures play dice, frolic by the pool, perform exercises with a ball. Two new figures arrive. Masked. They search and find the dice. They dance.

Forests stretch over a third of the Earth’s surface, they are home to more than half of terrestrial species of living organisms, live hundreds of millions of people. 7 billion people use at least something produced by forests every day. Forests are the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, the medicines we sometimes cannot survive without. At the same time, forests are one of the most poorly protected areas on our planet. They are in clear danger.
2011 has become the International Year of Forests and an extra reason to learn or remember how to treat the forests of our planet, protect, protect and use wisely. About Forests and People (Des Forêts et des Hommes) close
