Hop, splash, and zap from one extreme to another.

Summer rips through through natural world. The heat parches the soil, plants wither, and animals scramble for shelter from the relentless sun. It’s a battle for survival. In such moments, rain can be a salvation – unless it turns into a violent storm.
While we have roofs and lightning rods, animals only have trees, leaves and other fragile refuges. The film captures the peril faced by creatures, from tiny ants to wild horses, as they brave the onslaught of rain and lightning. Stunning close-ups and time-lapse footage offer a dynamic perspective on nature's dramatic transformations.
