Big John

Big John is in pieces. It needs to be reconstructed quickly, as it's worth millions of dollars. Big John is the largest triceratops dinosaur ever discovered. A small family-owned company in Trieste, Northern Italy, has very little time to prepare the immense skeleton for an international auction in Paris. For Flavio, his daughter Giorgia, and the entire team, it's a once-in-a-lifetime endeavor.
