When Water Takes Over

Once a year, when the Amazon waters are at their lowest, a flood of unprecedented violence hits the forest. Within a few months, it is submerged under nearly 30 meters of water, with only a few trees remaining above the surface… The survival of the forest animals is at stake: some retreat to the treetops, while others search for the remaining dry land, often separated by rising waters. As solid ground habitats shrink, the territories of fish and pink dolphins stretch endlessly. Everyone must learn to live in a flooded forest… This film tells the story of animals filled with competition, pain, danger, and courage. It is a mesmerizing and unforgettable tale.
