Spring in the meadow brings a burst of extraordinary behavior: a vixen raising her young, a death's-head hawk moth caterpillar transforming into a striking butterfly, and hares locked in their wild, high-speed courtship chase — famously known as "mad March hares."

None of this is magic or myth, yet these creatures remain wrapped in centuries-old superstition and folklore that still shapes how humans treat them today.

And the real danger isn't superstition alone — it's cohabitation with humans. Combine harvesters and herbicides destroy nests and kill hatchlings before they have a chance at life, while even underground burrows offer no real protection from hunters.

This documentary uncovers the hidden drama of meadow wildlife in spring — a season of new life, transformation, and courtship, but also one of fragile survival in a landscape increasingly shaped by human activity.
