One hour and fifteen minutes on an unknown planet: Earth rediscovered on a scale of centimetres.
The inhabitants are incredible creatures: insects and other animals living in the grass and in the water. The landscape: impenetrable forests, tufts of grass, drops of dew as big as balloons... A land where the animals walk on water, stroll with their heads down and fall without fear from over a hundred times their height, slowed down only by the resistance of the air. In this world the hourglass of time moves faster: one hour equals one day, one day equals one season, one season is a lifetime. This is a voyage from the inside, leading the spectator to the heart of the action, as though he/she was the size of an insect.
