[A cameraman and a soundman arrive in Corvo in 2007, the smallest island in the archipelago of the Azores.
Right in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Corvo is a large rock, 6km high and 4km long, with the crater of a volcano, and a single tiny village of 440 people.
Gradually, this small filming crew is accepted by the island's population as its new inhabitants, two people to add to a civilisation almost 500 years old, whose history is hardly discernible, such is the lack of records and written memories.
Shot at a vertiginous pace throughout a few years, self-produced between arrivals, departures, and coming-backs, "It's the Earth not the Moon" develops as the logbook of a ship, and turns out as a patchwork of discoveries and experiences, which follow the contemporary life of a civilisation isolated in the middle of the sea. A 3-hour Atlantic film-odyssey, divided in 14 chapters, that combines anthropological records, literature, lost archives, mythological and autobiographical stories.]
