This extraordinary film depicts the events of an archeological expedition form the 1920s, on the tracks of the elephas falconeri – a dwarf elephant, a creature that existed but is nonetheless reminiscent of the legendary Cyclops. Théodore Kracklite found the creature’s fossilised skulls in the undersea caverns of Sicily. The film revisits the well-known myth from Homer’s “Iliad,” which grows to the rank of a metaphor of the modern ecological crisis and serves as a reminder of the massive extinction of species.
