Synopsis
Meet the Beetles! "Microcosmos" stars ants, bees, ladybugs, butterflies, beetles, amorous snails and a world of other insects that often escapes your consciousness. Involving 15 years of research, 2 years of equipment design and 3 years of shooting, "Microcosmos" is a cinematic feat offering otherworldly cinematography and mesmerizing sensibilities that restores your sense of wonder. Through humor, romance, chivalry, drama and a unique look at entomological eroticism, "Microcosmos" demonstrates an anthropological metaphor for human evolution.
