In Canada, a tiny turtle ventures through a forest of giants in search of the wetland, and in South Africa, a bushbaby is drawn towards a world of light in his quest to find a home.

A tiny female turtle hatchling struggles out of her egg and emerges onto the roadside. She heads out alone, searching for a wetland pond she can call home. However, she faces an almost impossible task - crossing Highway 60. With the wetland somewhere on the other side of the road, she faces trucks and roadside predators like ravens and foxes. But she has no choice - she must cross the highway.

In the middle of an acacia forest is a family of tiny nocturnal primates: a male bushbaby, his sister and their mother. The bushbabies emerge to hunt moths, groom and play. However, life for the young male is about to change, because his mother is pregnant. With more mouths to feed, the territory can’t support them all. His mother turns on him. Tiny, scared and alone in the forest, the bushbaby is at risk from predators and must find food.
