monarch butterflies are a familiar sight in the united states and canada most of the year, but disappear from most locations in winter. the documentary film weaves together factual information about the monarchs with a dramatic re-enactment of the search for the answer to the mystery of where they spend the winter. the story line follows urquhart as a child in canada, fascinated by the butterflies; his years of research and study, together with his wife and collaborator norah, into their life and migration; and their recruitment of a pair of amateur naturalists in mexico to search for and ultimately find the butterflies there, concluding with his time decades later as a senior scientist looking back at his investigations and discoveries about the insect's life pattern. in addition to finding the overwintering sites, he discovered that it takes two or three generations for the monarch butterflies to reach the canadian breeding grounds, while one much-longer-lived "supergeneration" makes the return trip south into central mexico.
