A young couple, a king and queen termite, settle down and build a grand empire within a massive mound. When the mound suffers damage from rain, fire, and a falling branch, the scent from the termite colony is carried off by wind and catches the attention of a swarming driver ant colony led by their "black queen." Now a war is waged as ant and termite fight a battle of minuscule proportions for the survival of their very colonies.

Plot

Deep in the African savanna, in the heart of Banfora in south-east Burkina Faso, safe in their tower several meters high, the termites are at work. A short distance away, a column of terrible carnivorous driver ants gets ready to attack...They will make the most of the fragile state of the termite mound to launch a genuine onslaught - A merciless war will rage.
