KOMODO, SEX AND DRAGONS

An eventful courtship

Synopsis

An imposing adult male is determined to mate with a young female. A trivial episode in the animal kingdom one might think. But when it takes place in one of the most hostile archipelagos in the world, and when the animals involved are the ferocious Komodo dragons, we know the courtship promises to be eventful.

Baby dragons perched 10 meters high in trees; an old one who wants more offsprings; a young male ready to mate but who must deal with a rival bent on killing him; a recalcitrant female; macaques, deer, and buffalo living in close proximity to their predators: these are the characters in this saga.

Dramatic scenes, imposing landscapes, and beautiful photography combine to make this a spectacular film.
