Jedes Jahr begeben sich die Monarchfalter auf eine große Reise, um im warmen Mexiko zu überwintern. Der junge Falter Patrick möchte unbedingt mit, hat aber nur einen voll ausgebildeten Flügel und kann daher nicht fliegen. Gemeinsam mit seinem besten Freund, der tollpatschigen Raupe Marty, kann er sich als blinder Passagier im Vorrats-Anhänger, gezogen von dem scharfzüngigen Schmetterlings-Mädchen Jennifer, verstecken und sich so der Reise doch noch anschließen. Doch auch die so selbstbewusste Jennifer kämpft mit einem Problem, das sie vor dem Schwarm geheim zu halten versucht: Sie leidet unter schrecklicher Höhenangst. Das Trio muss sich auf der beschwerlichen Reise nicht nur seinen eigenen Ängsten stellen, sondern es auch mit gefährlichen Tornados, von Menschen zugebauten Landschaften und drei bösartigen, aber nicht besonders cleveren Finken, aufnehmen. Es beginnt ein großes Abenteuer...

Farbenfroh, filigran, flatterhaft: Schmetterlinge sind ganz besondere Lebewesen. Aber hinter der hübschen äußeren Erscheinung verbirgt sich ein dramatisches Dasein. Die Terra-Mater-Dokumentation „Wunderwesen Schmetterling“ liefert überraschende Einblicke und viele kaum bekannte Informationen über diese einzigartigen Insekten.

Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Merkmale und faszinierenden Fähigkeiten dieser Insekten. Schmetterlinge haben vier wichtige Entwicklungsphasen: Vom Ei über die Raupe und Puppe bis zum fertigen Falter. Speziell die Metamorphose von der Puppe zum Schmetterling ist eines der größten Rätsel der Natur – die Forscher kennen noch immer nicht alle Details.

Orange-and-black wings fill the sky as NOVA charts one of nature's most remarkable phenomena: the epic migration of monarch butterflies across North America. To capture a butterfly's point of view, NOVA’s filmmakers used a helicopter, ultralight, and hot-air balloon for aerial views along the transcontinental route. This wondrous annual migration, which scientists are just beginning to fathom, is an endangered phenomenon that could dwindle to insignificance if the giant firs that the butterflies cling to during the winter disappear.
