The Storm - Wildlife in Wild Weather

Torm - Metsik loodus metsiku ilmaga

When a heavy summer storm strikes Central Europe with gales, lightning, hail and torrential rain, how do the native animals find ways to endure it? In times of climate change, as weather extremes become more frequent and pose enormous challenges, humans aren’t the only ones impacted. The Storm follows the struggle of insects, storks, raccoons, foxes and moles when the weather turns against them. Breathtaking footage reveals how animals and plants react to the first warning signs, what surprising strategies they use to ride out the storm and sometimes even benefit from it.
