This film tells the story of the discovery, in the heart of Brazil, of an exceptional paleontological site that will revolutionize our understanding of giant sloths. During an international expedition carried out under extreme conditions, successive discoveries make it possible to reconstruct, through CGI, the history of "Poço Azul" (the Blue Cave) and bring these extraordinary animals, which disappeared over 10,000 years ago, back to life.
