Synopsis
Traveling through the Australian landscape, we take a look at the grasshopper within the context of the tension between ecology, fate, civilization and science. As we learn, nature will take its course, sometimes with catastrophic consequences for man. Like the plague of grasshoppers in September 2010, the biggest in the history of Australia. Farmers meet for desperate talks on the grasshoppers, which are threatening to destroy their entire harvests. The government attempts to come up with a satisfactory response, however, it is unclearn whether or not it will work. Who will prove stronger in the end: man or the grasshoppers?
