52' documentary

DIRECTED BY : Laurent FRAPAT

Imagine a world where you hear before seeing. A world where every sound, every vibration is a message addressed to others.

In the Masai Mara, follow a clan of lionnesses from dawn to dusk, and discover the savannah ad its traps through their journey.

With no music, hardly any commentary. No other sound than that of nature.

Like a wild opera which sheet music would have been composed by animals. A unique experience into the wild.

You’ve heard it again and again: in the wild, males are king, males are the strongest. In a word, males rule. But let’s leave preconceived notions behind: males don’t always live up to their reputation! What if females were the real queens of the savannah?

Long forgotten or ignored, females have plenty of surprises in store for us. We imagine them obedient, submissive and always devoted. As we’ll discover they can be dominant, independent and often unfaithful…

Wildwives of Savannah Lane offers us a glimpse into the daily life of six charismatic females: a lioness, a cheetah, a hippopotamus, an elephant, a baboon and a giraffe. A splendid menagerie, full of joy and offbeat humor.
