Microcosmos
A film of exquisite beauty following a day in the life of a French meadow: a thistle bursting into flower; a bee hovering over a clutch of poppies; an ant tickling aphids who produce a drink in return. Rarely have so many remarkable scenes been crammed into just 72 minutes. A marvelous documentary that will amaze the whole family. Narrated by Kristin Scott Thomas.
