Feast of the Animals

What happens when an animal perishes in the depths of the forest? Who clears away the remains? Deer, wild boar, mice, beetles, flies, wasps and many others - how are they all connected? A team of researchers in the Bavarian Forest National Park on Germanys border with the Czech Republic is on the trail of these exciting questions. Its obvious that a dead animal is a magnificent banquet for the living as every death means life for zillions of other creatures. But for whom does it matter? A film about life after death.
