Between Denmark and Latvia

Between Denmark and Latvia

The Baltic Sea is the youngest on earth and didn't evolve until after the last Ice Age. It seems so familiar, yet offers many surprises. The shores of the Baltic Sea are still shaped by wind and waves. The first episode takes us from Denmark's northernmost corner, via the Darss Peninsula in Germany and Lithuania's Curonian Spit to the endless beaches of Latvia. The film begins at the gateway to the Baltic Sea at Denmark's northernmost point: Skagen. It is here that the North Sea and the Baltic Sea meet and form a divide made of sand between Skagerrak and Kattegat. In June, hundreds of seals gather together on the lonely island of Anholt between Denmark and Sweden. It is the largest seal colony in the Baltic Sea. No camera team has ever been able to get so close to the animals as nature filmmaker Christoph Hauschild. Using remote-control cameras, he and his team have been able to capture intimate images of the way the seals live over and beneath water. For the very first time they follow a mother with her young to swimming lessons and in doing so, capture very emotional moments of these timid creatures. Most of the freshwater from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea, flows through the Store Baelt. In this sound, the underwater world is characterised by many species of saltwater loving fish. In the waters around Sjaelland, the largest stocks of harbour porpoise in the Baltic Sea. In 2016, the labyrinth of islands, sounds and fjords attracted two dolphins. They spent several months in the fjords of Flensburg and Kiel. Astounding images: they show familiar to us from the Mediterranean, but not something we would necessarily expect from the Baltic Sea.

Episode 2

In this episode of the documentary series Andreas Kieling encounters the last gorillas in the mountain rainforests of the border areas between the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda and sets off in search of the perhaps most aggressive descendant of the dinosaurs, the saltwater crocodile, in Australia. With the help of local guides Andreas Kieling attempts to track down lions in a small region of India and encounters the elepahnt, the most hated at the same time most respected creature in Africa. Near Cape Town in Struis Bay, the filmmaker meets a woman who feeds seven stingrays each morning and evening.
