How was born the project up to the North Pole?
Rémi Chaya: "In 2005 I was at La Poudrier met Claire Paoletti, who worked on the script. Her feature-length project. At that time, it fit on one page: a young girl from an aristocratic Russian family goes in search of his grandfather who disappeared between ice floes. Some time before I read the trip log, Ernest Shakletona and several other books on the prodigious act. Shakleton went on the expedition to Antarctica from one end to the other. But the ship by surprise early arrival of winter and had been trapped in the ice. Survived 22 months in extreme conditions. Incredible human story. So when I told Claire about the ship stuck in the ice, I was hooked. Build the project, finding producers and funding meant for us to develop something around 40 or 50 different ingredients with layouts with texts, images, figures and illustrations of scenes and atmosphere of the film.
