Anyone who went through the "dinosaur period" as a child probably wanted a dinosaur of their own at some point. This dream may come true for some - at least in a sense.

The film offers a layered insight into the controversial practice of auctioning dinosaur bones. It speaks to collectors, excited about the skeleton of an exclusive sauropod in their living room, but also to scientists, concerned about the market, which makes it difficult for museums and laboratories to access the finds. A triceratops named Big John becomes the subject of their common interest.
