In the forest at night, everyone has their place. Fireflies light up the darkness, tiny bugs get ready for bed, and bats set out to hunt. One little bat, however, decides to spare a few bugs that have flown straight into his wings. Following their trail, he sees the forest from an entirely different perspective for the first time. Will the little bat manage to challenge the order that governs the nocturnal forest?
