Dans l'ombre du héron

Nicolas Bianco-Levrin

France / 2 / 2026

Production company : Nicolas Bianco-Levrin

Par une belle journée de pluie, une grenouille flâne sur son nénuphar. Au fil de l’eau, elle croise un héron. L’échassier a décidé qu’il ne ferait qu’une bouchée du batracien. Commence alors un duel au cœur du marais.

On a beautiful rainy day, a frog strolls on its lily pad. As it drifts along, it crosses paths with a heron. The wading bird has decided it will make short work of the amphibian. Thus begins a duel in the heart of the marsh.
