Near the cold Pyrenees of Iberia, surrounded by ancient and dark green forests, lies a strange land where the rain is scarce and the wind is always blowing. The soil is poor, there are no trees and the landscape resembles the moon. Is this what the future of desertification will look like? Incredible creatures with surprising behavior live in this strange landscape. The documentary explores a place with very dry skin but a wet hidden heart where even waterfowl or amphibians can live. Living in such conditions is not easy and only the toughest animals will survive.

From hunting traps to metamorphoses, get an up-close view of the visually stunning world of nature’s tiniest creatures in this revealing documentary.

Snakes, creatures with superpowers that have allowed them to adapt perfectly to their environment, play an essential role in the ecosystem.

The four-part series follows the wildlife during every season (spring, summer, autumn, winter) in the Iberian Peninsula.
