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 Germany's border with the Czech Republic is on the trail of these exciting questions. It's 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.
