It’s a hot and humid summer’s day, somewhere in Europe. After an extended drought, lakes and even rivers have all but dried up. While bees are searching for the last drops of remaining water, dark clouds gather overhead: A massive thunderstorm is brewing. When it arrives, lightning descends on flora and fauna, discharging pent-up static at 100,000 amperes. With breathtaking footage, this film shows animals and plants’ response to the first warning signs, the surprising strategies they use to cope with the violent deluge and how some even benefit from what appears at first sight like a natural disaster.
