Plots(1)

Everyone who had a dinosaur phase as a child likely wanted their own dinosaur. Some people can fulfill this dream – at least to a degree. The film offers a layered look into the controversial practice of the auction of dinosaur bones. It includes voices of both collectors, thrilled by an exclusive sauropod skeleton in their living room, and scientists, unsettled by the market preventing museums and labs from accessing the finds. A triceratops called Big John becomes the subject of their collective interest. (Academia Film Olomouc)
