An interminable caravan of hundreds of emperor penguins is progressing in step, and in silence. No other living creature can endure the climate of the place towards which they are heading. But the emperors do not have a choice. They need weeks to accomplish their mating rituals, and then months to raise their progeny. And the three short summer months would not suffice. So each year, to breed, this long line of penguins has a date with one of the worst winters on the planet.

Emperor penguins overcome daunting obstacles in order to return to their breeding grounds for mating season. This tells the story of one year in the life of a flock -- focusing on one couple in particular -- as they trek across the Antarctic on an annual journey that invokes just about every major life experience: from birth to death, from dating to mating, from comedy to tragedy, and from love to fighting for survival.
