In the footsteps of Tintin

Format: 5x52’

Henri de Gerlache, Marc Temmerman, Laurent Joffrion, Florence Tran

Synopsis

Through a documentary series comprising five 52-minute films, we propose to discover the world through Tintin’s eyes. For each destination, we aim to experience — for real — what Hergé drew to inspire our dreams. From the forests of Peru to the snow-topped peaks of Nepal, from the arid deserts of Morocco to the wind-blown Scottish Hebrides… this is an invitation to travel in the form of a road movie, with Tintin as a travelling companion. A journey of discovery, open to everyone — not merely to hardened “Tintinologists”.

The ultimate, common aim of all the episodes in the series: to transport viewers, to awaken their taste for travel and adventure, to foster an understanding of these countries and the daily lives of their inhabitants, and to offer a closer, more insightful look at the destinations Tintin explored…
