More than 80 species of Kingfisher appeared millions of years ago in the Malaysian region, before spreading themselves all around the world.
Around 10,000 years ago, a number of Kingfishers from the Alcedo gender, began a long trip reaching Europe and colonizing the most adapt areas.
They never got back to their places of origin.
In the new land, they had to modify their way of living in order to adapt to the cold and different environment they found here, compared to the tropical areas they came from. They changed their metabolism and became more prolific to cope with their high mortality rate.
This documentary tells the story of Martin, a young Kingfisher born in late summer who, after being chased away by its parents, finds its own territory, where it can survive.
In this environment, populated by a large number of other organisms, such as the otter, Martin will succeed - not without some difficulty - in surviving, reproducing itself and becoming an excellent hunter.
