Over the course of 60 years two married entomologists, Charlie and Lois O'Brien, traveled to more than 67 countries and quietly amassed the world's largest private collection of insects, with more than 1 million specimens. But as Charlie's battle with Parkinson's becomes increasingly pronounced, he and Lois, 90, must make the difficult decision to give away their drawers full of iridescent weevils and planthoppers. This humorous and poignant film explores the Love of Nature - and the Nature of Love - and what it means to devote oneself completely to both.
