Tartarughe d’Acqua (2016 | 24.5 minutes | COLOR | SILENT)

The town of Asti, Piemonte, in Italy, has in its park a very small pond in which there are a great number of turtles, a species « Trachemys scripta » and « Trachemys scripta elegans » protected by the Movimento Nationale U.N.A. Onlus Uorno-Natura-Animali.

In spite of the very limited space in the pond, a spirit of well-being prevails, all is calm while each turtle tries to find its place even if it means falling into the water every now and then.
