Synopsis
Although there are many different species of ants, they are all very active and highly organized. We witness the intense activity within an anthill, where the hierarchy is very strict: the queen, the only fertile ant, entrusts her eggs to the care of the workforce. Diligent and industrious, the ants can be quite aggressive; they shirk no obstacles in their way, but it is often at a heavy cost to themselves.
