En hiver 2016, la Jungle de Calais est une ville naissante en pleine croissance où vivent près de 12 000 personnes. Au début du printemps, la zone Sud, avec ses commerces, ses rues, ses habitations, sera entièrement détruite. Les habitants expulsés déplacent alors leurs maisons vers la zone Nord, pour s’abriter et continuer à vivre. En automne l’État organise le démantèlement définitif de la Jungle. Mais la Jungle est un territoire mutant, une ville monde, une ville du futur ; même détruite, elle renaît toujours de ses cendres. Tourné avec des jeunes gens pris dans le tumulte des guerres, des violences policières, et leurs tentatives de traverser la frontière vers l’Angleterre, L’Héroïque Lande pourrait être un épisode ignoré de l’Odyssée d’Homère.
