The film shows too what is a scientific meeting, how these courses work, how physicists and astrophysicists work, the importance of strong theoretical research, the value of ideas in scientific progress, of discussions and confrontations, and the international dimension of science.

Erice, city of science, site of the Majorana Center and of the Chalonge School, are wonderfully shown.

The film admits several readings and at differente levels; there are several films within this film, and one of its merits is to give space and time to scientists to explain with passion the subjects of their work.
