Peace with seals

The feature-length documentary tells two stories teaching a lesson about human nature. The first one shows Gaston the sea lion which was carried off by flood waters down the Vltava river as far as Germany. After its death, the Prague ZOO set up a monument for the animal.

Fifty years earlier, another sea lion called Odysseus was put into the Fontana di Trevi in Rome, Italy. The animal world meets with that of humans. The beaches of the Mediterranean Sea - formerly full of sea lions - are now full of people who go on hunting tours. What is the domestication of animals, and what is the domestication of people?

The partner of the screening is International documentary film festival Jihlava.
