Journal de Bord d'un Bateau fantôme is a silent science-fiction movie. Traveling to discover a new planet, a new world. It's like if for the first time a (human?) being makes the first footstep on a new orb. The new planet is The Earth, Amazonian Region. Their inhabitants appear to us in their daily life, without any possibility for us to really understand what they are doing, because they look like aliens.
