On the verge of extinction, the last griffon vultures in sardinia are fighting a desperate daily battle for survival. The film depicts this huge glider with almost three meters of wingspread flying over the mountains of Barbargia, one of the wildest and most enchanting spots in Sardinia. The camera carefully follows the parent birds as they take turns defending their one large, hairless offspring. They alternate their long periods at the nest with exhausting flights in search of the food that becomes more and more scarce. The griffon vultures of Sardinia are now being aided in their struggle by members of the Italian League for the Protection of Birds. Through supplies of meat and attentive surveillance they have made the future of these birds a little less uncertain.
