Daring scientists embark on a scientific exploration to the center of the earth. A vast subterranean corridor leads them through a fantastical phantasmagoria, into the deep abysses, where they come face to face with the Secret. Spontaneous growth of monsters springs up around them as jets of flame and molten metal erupt from the subterranean walls, falling onto pools of boiling water, and volcanoes spew forth their fiery lava. Miraculously escaping death, our scientists return safe and sound from their journey to the otherworld. (Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé)
