A cute bug runs rampant in a FAMU student's visual poem. However, his apparent innocence brings destruction, which has come to the fore not only for ecological interests.

The Šumava bark beetle is no longer only a topic for nature lovers. It is a political topic that receives space in the media, causing endless debates and concerns about the future of Czech forests. The film explores the dimensions of one of the biggest modern-day natural disasters in the Czech Republic in a playful way with elements of animation, while trying to maintain a balance between cynical humor and a touch of fatality.
