The protagonist of this documentary, entirely shot in the Maremma in Latium, is one of the most fascinating European birds of prey: the short-toed Eagle, a migratory eagle colored in white and brown, specialized in reptile-hunting. Winner of a prize at the International Wildscreen festival, this film puts together spectacular shooting and a rigorous scientific approach, thanks to a long and never-before-seen ecological research on the short-toed eagle.
