The film "Ant Trails" is as intriguing and engrossing as the best thriller. Despite the passage of almost 70 years since its making, this extraordinary, dramatic story about the surprising customs of ant communities, precisely told and photographed, still inspires vivid emotions. The main character here is a special species of these insects called Amazons (Polyergus rufescens), which in the ant world is a counterpart of the rogue hordes of Huna Attila.

The dramatic nature of the film images is emphasized by the specially composed music by the famous jazz musician Jerzy "Dudus" Matuszkiewicz, performed by Krzysztof Komeda's sextet.
