Synopsis
On the Rodrigues island, the huge tortoises look with curiosity at humans. Those same who are capable of exterminating them, are capable of making them be reborn. From them, they will doubtless always depend on. After the original terrestrial ecosystem almost entirely disappeared, the marine ecosystem is threatened in its turn. Will the return of the huge tortoises provoke the necessary awareness for the protection of natural and cultural environment of Rodrigues Island, in spite of the touristic development?
