Nora's best friend is the beetle Billy. When climate change causes a great flood and her father fills his ark with animals, Nora starts her own rescue operation, she wants to save all insects. But Dad dislikes these nasty small pests and says no. Nora therefore prepares her own boat, Nora's Ark. Thus, a deep conflict arises between father and daughter, which not only puts their relationship at risk, but the entire small ecosystem on board Nora's ark.
