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 ark, 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 Noah's ark – and in the world.
