In the marshes of New South Wales, Australia, the green and golden bell frog faces an invisible enemy: the Chytrid fungus. This deadly pathogen has wiped out over 90 amphibian species, and the frog's survival depends on an unlikely cure - a frog sauna. As the fungus attacks, weakening the frog's body, time is running out. While predators lurk in the sky and grasses, the true threat lies beneath the water. In a desperate search for safety, the frog finds refuge in a sauna that may hold the key to survival. But will this fragile hope be enough to save the frog? This family-friendly short film uses elements of horror and whimsy to tell the story in a new and captivating light.
