France, 17th Century. For more than three decades, a mysterious prisoner was moved from fortress to fortress under extraordinary secrecy, his identity concealed behind a mask and known only to a handful of powerful men. Ordered into confinement by the minister of Louis XIV in 1669, he would remain locked away until his death in 1703 — alive, but erased. Why was he hidden so carefully? What secret was so dangerous that it demanded absolute silence? Drawing on archival research, expert analysis, and the turbulent politics of the Sun King’s reign, this gripping historical investigation revisits one of France’s greatest unsolved enigmas. From theories of royal bloodlines and forbidden romances to diplomatic conspiracies and mistaken identities, the film explores the many faces behind the mask and the fragile power structures of absolutist France. A tale of intrigue, paranoia, and state secrecy that continues to fascinate more than 350 years later.
In 2003, a group of young artists quietly carried out an audacious experiment: they built and furnished a hidden apartment inside a bustling shopping mall, slipping in and out unnoticed for years. What began as a daring act of urban mischief soon evolved into something far more profound.

Blending humor, tension, and unexpected emotion, this remarkable true story explores how a simple hidden room became a powerful statement about community, art, and belonging. Through rare footage and firsthand accounts, the film reveals the risks they took, the bonds they forged, and the quiet rebellion that turned an ordinary mall into an extraordinary sanctuary.

As the climb unfolds, the film pulls viewers inside Honnold’s mindset, revealing the discipline, focus, and psychological control required to face extreme exposure hundreds of meters above the city. Blending vertigo-inducing visuals with the immediacy of live broadcast, it becomes a gripping meditation on risk, human limits, and what drives someone to push beyond fear in front of the world.
In the final three episodes, the journey deepens into a powerful exploration of culture, survival, and science at the planet’s edges. On a remote Pacific island threatened by rising seas, Will Smith joins Dr. Walworth and John Aini to document a dying language spoken by only five people, turning marine research into an intimate race against time to preserve human memory. The mission reveals how climate change erodes not just coastlines, but identities. The adventure then shifts to extremes of land and ice. In the Kalahari Desert, Will learns survival from the San people, confronting the limits of his endurance during a traditional hunt with guide Kane Motswana. The odyssey culminates beneath the ice of the North Pole, where, alongside polar ecologist Allison Fong, a daring dive to collect critical samples is jeopardized by a sudden storm and equipment failure. What follows is a gripping test of courage and teamwork that redefines heroism at the end of a 100-day quest.
