The documentary embarks on a fascinating journey of discovery through the Alblasserwaard, revealing the wild side of this classic and idyllic Dutch landscape as the seasons change, as well as the astonishing number of animal species that have benefited from the legacy of windmills.

The Alblasserwaard is a beautiful classic old Dutch meadow area, where you will find vast meadows, lakes, long ditches, windmills and lots of wild animals. It is the habitat of black-tailed godwits, purple herons, hares, barnacle geese, roe deer, moor frogs, marsh harriers and argus butterflies. We follow these animals at defining moments in their lives and discover the challenges they face in order to survive.
