The documentary explains precisely but simply the importance of flysch to investigate the evolution of Earth's history and biodiversity. In short, the outcrop of Zumaia, from the geological point of view, is one of the most valuable natural spaces we have in Euskal Herria, a wealth that the documentary has brought to the images.

Some of them are: Bruce Runnego, former director of the astrobiology section of NASA; Anil Markandya, environmental economist of the IPCC organization; Adolfo Eraso, expert in glaciers, who is still working on arctic and antarctic lands for more than 70 years; and Jan Smit, one of the theories developed on the disappearance of dinosaurs as a result of a meteorite.
