A stark documentary examination of trophy hunting tourism that confronts viewers with the contradiction between vacation leisure and animal slaughter, raising uncomfortable questions about human nature and morality.

Africa. In the wild expanses, where bush-bucks, impalas, zebras, gnus and other creatures graze by the thousands, they are on holiday. German and Austrian hunting tourists drive through the bush, lie in wait, stalk their prey. They shoot, sob with excitement and pose before the animals they have bagged. A vacation movie about killing, a movie about human nature.
