Synopsis
Ten years ago, activists wanting to experience a collective way of life besieged a wooded countryside near Nantes in order to block the construction of a new airport. L’Étincelle paints an empathetic portrait of the environmentalists who raise questions about the future of the “Zone à défendre”, when their struggle leads to a first victory: the cancellation of the airport project.
