The film also accompanies the world-renowned paleoanthropologist Friedemann Schrenk from the Senckenberg Research Institute in Frankfurt to hotspots of human history between South Africa and Europe. The film shows documentary scenes from the hotspots of human history as well as spectacular computer animations.
