En 1470, dans un port de pêcheurs près de Lisbonne, le jeune Vasco montre des talents pour la navigation. Des années plus tard, alors que son ami Bartolomeu Dias a atteint le Cap des tempêtes et que Pêro da Covilhã rejoint les Indes par la voie terrestre, le roi Jean II de Portugal le charge avec son frère Paulo d'atteindre les Indes par la mer.

03:14Christopher Columbus
03:14Will be leaving soon
03:15For the Americas
03:16India
03:17As was believed at the time
03:18But already
03:19The men ventured out
03:20Further and further away
03:21On sea and on land
03:23Like this
03:24Perro d'Ecoville
03:25Spy of King John of Portugal
03:27On the road to India
03:28And spices
03:29Pepper, ginger
03:30Cinnamon, cloves
03:32Saffron, nutmeg
03:36All of this was at the time
03:37Precious
03:38And very expensive
03:39Very expensive
03:40Why, my dear?
03:41We go into the corner grocer's
03:43For three cents
03:44Today, yes, that's true.
03:45But in time
03:45It was much more complicated
03:47At each stopover
03:49Customs had to be paid
03:50And profit for the merchants
03:51And when the spices
03:53They arrived in Lisbon
03:57Hello grocer
03:58I need pepper
03:59And nutmeg
04:00Unfortunately, prices have increased again.
04:02And transport
04:02They cost a fortune
04:03As for taxes
04:04And taxes on taxes
04:06All of this is going to end in death.
04:07Small businesses, my lord sir
04:08How much is it?
04:09Well, today
04:10Pepper is worth its weight in silver
04:12Yes, sir.
04:13So much so that a healthy
04:14But that's madness!
04:15Oh well, too bad.
04:16I need it
04:24Hey, nutmeg
04:26Worth half
04:26Of its weight of gold
04:27Yes, what do you want?
04:28The luxury tax
04:36But finally, father
04:37That's ridiculous
04:38Yes, spices are exorbitantly priced.
04:40It's true
04:40What if we went to get them?
04:42With our ships?
04:42That's impossible, my boy.
04:44We don't know where
04:44And we don't know how to get them
04:46Some of our sailors think
04:47That Africa should be bypassed
04:48But nobody was going either
04:50It is said that the sea is rushing into the void
04:52Just sea monsters
04:54They call the ships
04:55You know, Captain Gomez went the furthest.
04:57And he has barely crossed the equator
05:00And me, who's only ten years old
05:02When I grow up, we will have discovered everything
05:03No, no, my son
05:04But no
05:05We haven't even reached the end of Africa yet.
05:07So, India
05:08After the equator, we are in completely uncharted territory.
05:10The North Star disappeared
05:11Okay, she disappears
05:12Yes
05:12Have you heard of the North Star?
05:14Of course, father
05:15Pedro explained everything to me about the pots and pans.
05:17Pots and pans?
05:18Tell me about it
05:18But with pleasure, father
05:19I'm going to show you
05:21Do you see those stars?
05:22It's the Great Bear.
05:23You extend the interval by five times
05:25Of the last two stars
05:26From the end of the saucepan
05:27And that's the North Star.
05:29It points north
05:30And the little saucepan is the little bear.
05:32The North Star is at the end of the handle
05:34And do you understand why the North Star
05:36Does it disappear when you approach the equator?
05:39Yes, I understand.
05:40Because the Earth is round
05:41When going south
05:43The North Star is no longer visible
05:46And Vasco will begin his apprenticeship as a sailor
05:52And to participate in numerous expeditions
05:56A few years later
05:57One of his friends, Bartholomé Dias
05:59Will be the first to reach southern Africa
06:04And the storm cape
06:05Then will become the Cape of Good Hope
06:10Vasco!
06:11Congratulations, you've reached the Indian Ocean
06:13Do you realize, Bartholomew?
06:15No one had ever gone as far as you
06:17But I could have gone much further.
06:19And probably bypass Africa
06:20Perhaps even go as far as India.
06:22But my crew didn't want to
06:24The men were terrified.
06:26Vasco, who is this man?
06:28Do you know him?
06:28Yes, he is a Genoese captain.
06:30A man named Christopher Columbus
06:32He has been trying to persuade our King John for quite some time now.
06:35That he can reach India via the western seas
06:37Via the Western Seas?
06:38But that's insane.
06:40If we can go to India by going around Africa
06:42What will become of my project?
06:49Fabulous !
06:50That's exactly what we needed.
06:51Come my friends, come
06:52Look at this map
06:54It's a secret document that brings together everything we know about the world
06:56This is my astronomer, here present.
06:58Abraham Zakuto Ben Samuel
07:00Who updated it based on the information?
07:02What did he send us?
07:03Perrot de Covilla on the Indies
07:05That helped him a lot
07:05India?
07:07But no one has ever invited anyone as far as India.
07:09Covilla traveled by camel to Arabia
07:11The Arabs let him do it?
07:13That's because he had become an Arab himself.
07:17So when I sailed around Africa
07:18I was closer to India than to Portugal
07:20Yes, according to my calculations.
07:21You could have achieved it in just under a month.
07:23To say that my crew didn't want
07:25And what is this?
07:26That's a land discovered by one of my captains.
07:29It's a big secret
07:31So, don't tell anyone yet.
07:34But isn't this India?
07:36No, it's a new land
07:37There is no ornithology of the red wood like embers
07:40So we called this land Brazil
07:42But then there's this Genoese navigator who thinks he can reach India by sailing west
07:46What's his name again?
07:48Christopher Columbus
07:49He is mistaken
07:50To reach India, one must sail around Africa and head east.
07:55I understand, Your Majesty, that you refused to finance this expedition.
07:58I trust only you, my Portuguese captains.
08:01Columbus is now selling himself to the Spanish.
08:08On October 12, 1492, after 36 days at sea
08:14Christopher Columbus lands
08:18He believes he is arriving in India
08:20In reality, he is discovering a new continent
08:23Which would later be called America
08:26King Ferdinand of Spain and Queen Isabella
08:28They will address themselves to Pope Alexander VI
08:31Your Holiness
08:32Spanish and Catholic interests in the West of the Ocean must be protected.
08:36You are Spanish yourself, so you must understand me.
08:39Well written
08:40I, Alexander VI, declare that all the lands discovered by Christopher Columbus
08:44They belong to Spain
08:45And those that will be discovered west of the Azores
08:48They too will become Spanish by force of circumstance.
08:50Is that alright with you?
09:03Given
09:06Here is the edit
09:07And the parchment reaches the King of Portugal
09:11Oh no, no, I don't agree.
09:13Look, these Spaniards want everything!
09:15I will speak with Ferdinand and Isabelle myself.
09:18And tell them what I think about it
09:19But give me the other card
09:25Listen Jean, the Pope decreed it, it's normal
09:27Spain is a great country
09:28So he must receive a large share
09:30Portugal, on the other hand, is much smaller.
09:32SO ?
09:33But I disagree.
09:34And besides, if necessary, we have a powerful and well-armed fleet.
09:38Don't forget
09:39So, what do you want?
09:40I want the dividing line to run through there.
09:42I don't see what you can gain from it.
09:44There is nothing there but water.
09:46Finally, I'd like to make you happy.
09:48And so it was that, by this treaty signed at Torce d'Ilias
09:51Portugal beat Brazil
09:53Whose existence the Spanish were unaware of
10:02I've decided, my friends
10:04Vasco, you will take command of the expedition to India.
10:08You, Polo from Gamma
10:10You will command one of the ships
10:12You, Abraham
10:13You will teach my captains
10:14To know the stars in the southern hemisphere
10:19Bartolomeo, with your knowledge
10:20I'm putting you in charge of overseeing all the preparations.
10:24It is best to sail via the Southern Cross
10:27Manuel, my cousin
10:28Soon you will succeed me on the throne
10:30So never forget that the future of Portugal
10:32It lies beyond the seas
10:34Salted beef
10:36Biscuit, lentils, sardines
10:38Bruneau, almonds, onions
10:40Ouch, mustard, sugar, honey, flour
10:43Everything is there
10:53And that's it, I got hired!
10:56And also on the supply ship
10:58I'll take care of it myself.
10:59You have that, you can be sure of it.
11:00And I'm going to organize a beautiful reception for them in Africa.
11:04The Spanish pay well
11:05Here, this is for you
11:07The church grants eternal salvation to all these courageous men
11:10Who embark on adventures for the glory of our country
11:20Helmsman, Heading South
11:21Bar to starboard, all
11:35If you follow the coast, the route is shorter and safer.
11:38But the winds are irregular and the currents slow you down
11:41But I won't lengthen it.
11:42I'd rather go that way, straight south.
11:44Following the favorable winds
11:46We will be a thousand miles from any land, in the open sea.
11:48It's very risky
11:49But you're probably right.
11:51May God be with you
12:00And meanwhile
12:07I believed
12:08I'll take it.
12:08I'll take Right
12:09I am here
12:09Good
12:11No
12:12There
12:12Hop
12:25Allah
12:47The North Star
12:49What are you saying, Captain?
12:50Come here, little one
12:56The North Star indicates north.
12:59It will soon disappear because we are approaching the equator.
13:01But then, how will you be able to lead us, Captain?
13:04You'll see, you'll see
13:05What's your name ?
13:07Miguelito, and I want to become a great navigator
13:13Helmsman, heading south-southwest
13:15You said south-southwest, Captain, but we're going away from Africa.
13:18Yes, exactly, heading south-southwest
13:21To port!
13:27I don't understand.
13:28Why are they turning right when Africa is on the left?
13:30They didn't turn right, Pierrot
13:32They turned to starboard
13:32At sea, to the right is called starboard.
13:34And to the left is called to port
13:36Okay, but still
13:37Why are they turning to starboard when Africa is to port?
13:41This is a bold decision
13:42But based on observations made by Portuguese sailors
13:45Vasco heads towards the open sea
13:47To avoid, in opposing currents, near the coast
13:52And we've been in the middle of the ocean for ten weeks now.
13:55The captain is leading us to our doom.
13:57Yes, we have to turn back.
13:58Yeah
13:59Yeah, we could seize the ship
14:00Yeah
14:01Yeah
14:07You see, the midday sun is low on the horizon
14:10We have passed the Circle of Capricorn
14:12We are here
14:13So we need to turn to port and head east?
14:16Exactly, Miguelito
14:17So go ahead, pass it on to them
14:18Who ?
14:18Me ?
14:21Turn to port! Head east!
14:23Oh well then, Miguelito, you're giving orders now?
14:26I'm the one who gives them out
14:27And I do mean turn to port.
14:29Heading east, no time to waste.
14:31Yes, well captain, at your service.
14:32All right
14:35And on the other side of Africa
14:40Tell me, is it still far away, my pelvis?
14:42Three or four weeks, but we're not in a hurry.
14:50Three months at sea already and still nothing
14:53This is madness, he's going to end up losing us
14:55Okay, let's go!
15:02Oh my, look!
15:04Algae, the land is not very far away
15:06Survey
15:07I'm probing
15:10One hundred and four
15:11One hundred and five
15:12One hundred and six
15:13One hundred and seven
15:14One hundred and eight
15:15One hundred and nine
15:16Ten
15:17No, nine
15:18Eight
15:18Uh, one hundred and seven
15:19And one hundred and six fathoms of depth
15:20It was an extraordinary performance
15:22Unrivaled until then
15:24Three long months at sea
15:25With no other guide than the stars
15:27And Vasco da Gama disembarked
15:29Almost exactly where he wanted
15:30Very close to the famous Cape of Good Hope
15:33It was an explosion of joy
15:44I haven't had my last word yet.
15:56We will stay here for a few days to repair the torn sails and stock up on supplies
16:00At work
16:21Come on, come closer
16:23Come
16:35He wants to go home.
16:36So take him back where he came from.
16:41They are friendly and not so different from us
16:44I would be very, very happy if we could reach an agreement with them.
16:47Hey, wait a minute
16:49Listen, little one
16:50The Portuguese are bad, bad
16:53They want to steal your necklaces and bracelets
16:55You must attack them with your hard-hard swords
16:58Like this, there you go.
17:16Come on, it's nothing, it's nothing, it's just a scratch.
17:18But I don't understand.
17:19He seemed to be acting with such good intentions.
17:21Oh well, too bad.
17:22We have enough supplies
17:24Let's go now
17:25Heading south
17:32Hey, look
17:33This is where Bartholomeo Dia stopped
17:36That was ten years ago.
17:37And since then, no one has gone any further?
17:39No, nobody
17:42This is where Bartholomeo Dia stopped
17:55Ah, oh
18:18Oh, but Captain, Captain, come and see, quickly!
18:21Oh, what luck! A little more money and we would have lost everything.
18:28No, we can't leave him there
18:30Burn it
18:33Missed it, I missed it again
18:47In a few days, ships with Portuguese passengers will arrive.
18:52They will transport precious fabrics, valuable objects, and gold.
18:55So if you do exactly what I say
18:57We will go ashore tomorrow morning
19:13Weapons alert! Pirates! Pirates!
19:28Weigh anchor
19:29He says a Spaniard arrived two days ago
19:31He gathered several bandits whom he paid to attack our ships.
19:35Celerat, I want to know which city is the closest to the north.
19:38Ask him
19:39Mahalindi is 30 leagues away
19:40So let's go!
19:47Look, they have cannons, they're not dead
19:49They don't have any, they're Indians, yes
19:51They may be Christians from India
19:53Fire the cannons
19:54Fire
19:58Yes, Indians
19:59We are close to the goal
20:01But we need a pilot who knows the area
20:07No, but look at this, what a setting!
20:09Hush, be quiet, Paolo
20:10He is undoubtedly the sovereign of the country
20:12Go get Ahmed, our interpreter.
20:18He welcomes you
20:19And invites you and all your men
20:21To share in the festivities organized in your honor
20:24Ask him if he can get me a pilot
20:26To guide us on the road to India
20:49Armel, so where's my pilot, huh?
20:52When the party is over
20:57So, is this pilot coming?
20:59Soon
21:04Armel, hey, Armel!
21:08Ah, that's enough, follow me
21:31The sultan seeks his advisor
21:33The little gobball with the goatee
21:34Didn't you see it?
21:34Well, go tell the sultan that I'll return his advisor in exchange for a good pilot.
21:47The Sultan is sending you the most experienced pilot in the Valais of India.
21:50He knows all the sinking sands, the washings, the atolles, and the good sands.
21:53His name is Ibn Majid
21:54Ah, good, we'll be able to give him back his advisor.
22:01Where have you been, Armel?
22:03Well, the party isn't over yet.
22:04Well, yes, for you, it's over.
22:06We're leaving in an hour.
22:07Paolo, bring this man back to shore and gather all our sailors as quickly as possible.
22:15So, let's see if this pilot is as competent as they claim.
22:20Here's my map, let him show me the way, I'm listening
22:26He says Northeast Cape
22:27Come on, go ahead, little one
22:29Northeast Cape!
22:33You haven't forgotten anything?
22:35Oh yes, of course, weigh anchor, Northeast Cape!
22:46Far ahead of atolls and shoals, one must go around to the north
22:54Polaris is visible again, as we return to the northern hemisphere.
23:04Come on, listen, we need to get the Amorins to announce it.
23:06What are the Amorins?
23:07He is the sovereign of this country; he enjoys ceremonies.
23:10Ah, him too
23:31He's a guard!
23:32I have never seen such an abundance of spices, peppers, and fewer muscat fruits and ginger.
23:36And precious stones, diamonds, emeralds, even rubies
23:53Oh, I've never seen such an abundance of peppercorn spices, let alone muscatel.
23:58Oh, I've never seen such an abundance of peppercorn spices, let alone muscatel.
23:58Oh, Badalouli, that's Meditoire's finger
24:00The king wants to know your intentions
24:01Of course, I understand.
24:03Tell the king that I am the envoy of Manuel, King of Portugal
24:05And that we sincerely wish to establish business and friendly relations with him.
24:11Zamora wants you to know that you are welcome
24:14He considers your king his friend and will send him ambassadors.
24:20Calicut in India
24:22After crossing Asia, Marco Polos was stopped there two centuries earlier
24:27Another century or so and the great junks of Zeng E will be stopping there.
24:31And here is Vasco da Gama
24:33Thanks to him, the route to India is now open.
24:36The treasures of the Orient will now flow in.
24:39The routes of trade and those of civilization will be shifted.
24:45The return journey will be difficult, very difficult.
24:48And many men will lose their lives there.
24:52Yes, it will be a triumph, but also what an achievement!
24:5612,000 kilometers, three times more than settlers
24:59And this happens in both directions, against opposing winds and currents.
25:04You could put a small Portuguese flag right there, couldn't you?
25:14You know, I think we can get from there to there by going around via the West
25:18So, you think...
25:20Yes, we should be able to travel around the world
25:21Hey there, young man, that's a pretty good idea!
25:23What's your name ?
25:25My name probably won't mean much to you, my name is Magellan
25:27Yes, Hernando Magellan
25:36The explorers
25:40They discovered the world, they made the earth round
25:42These synopaths
25:45They will still find ways to forge their own paths.
25:48And then offer them to the souls
25:50Like offering a beautiful apple
25:53To you, to us, to me, I believe
