Gustave Folcher, a French farmer, wrote in his 1939 diary that the summer had been long and hot. He was not alone. Many other anonymous French men and women wrote of the beauty and warmth of those summer months and how threats of war were far from their minds. Through home movies, diaries and letters, One Last Summer describes the final weeks of peace in France and the mix of blindness, denial and prophetic clear-sightedness of those facing the war that was about to unfold.

The silent cinema had already created colossal movies based on ancient civilizations, but it is in the 1950s when peplums reach their apogee in Hollywood. Then, peplums take root at Cinecittà studios, in Rome, where cheap cinema is produced with bodybuilders as heroes. The genre decays in the late 1960s, but rises again decades later, when a modern classic is released in 2000.

Thanks to intensive excavations, new technology (DNA analysis, 3D volumetric scanners, NASA aerial radar and augmented reality) and the findings of Italian, Peruvian, French and American scientists the film will help us shed light on the mystery that shrouds the strange and puzzling world of the ancient Nasca and Paracas civilizations.

En 1818, Mary Shelley escribió «Frankenstein, o El moderno Prometeo», una novela poderosa e intemporal cuyo eterno tema no es otro que la búsqueda por el hombre del secreto de la vida. Desde entonces, la Criatura se convirtió en un icono de la cultura pop, eclipsando a la novela y al propio doctor Frankenstein.
