Nora has an unusual best friend – Billy the beetle. When climate change causes a major flood and her father fills his ark with animals, Nora launches her own rescue mission: she wants to save all the insects. But her dad dislikes bothersome critters that can spread disease and death, and refuses outright. So Nora prepares her own boat, Nora’s Ark. Father and daughter are drawn into a deep conflict that threatens not only their relationship, but the entire tiny ecosystem aboard Nora’s Ark.

The schools are in lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and Lilly (10) must stay at home and take care of her drunk mother. When the bad girl from class sees what’s going on at her house, Lilly thinks her secret is in danger. But sometimes help can come from where you least expect it.
