Monk seal is the rarest animal of the european fauna and one among the twelve rarest animal species of the world.
Its progressive disappearing from most of the places where it could be observed in the past has brought many researchers to consider this species doomed to extinction.
Contrary to these gloomy premonitions some groups of monk seals, followed and protected in Egeo and Ionio Sea, are showing revival signs.
The documentary tells the experiment managed by Gruppo Foca Monaca, a little Italian voluntary organization along the Cilincia coast, in the south Turkey.
In these places far from mass tourism, a little group of italian visitor observe directly some monk seals: an experiment with a lucky outcome that recurs by now every year.
