We see a young girl that is having a fever. The parents are too busy to notice. But a few degrees can change everything: That is true for the girl, that has to be taken to hospital in the end, because no one took care. "It's just a few degrees". That is also true for the planet: We see many hints at the real topic of the film - not the fever, but climate change. Here, a few degrees also change everything. We see thunderstorms, car jams etc. The film cleverly juxtaposes both stories to reveal in the end, to take action and support Greenpeace in their fight against climate change.

Swiss people are known as putting work first and working long hours. So this takes up a special role in the film. While there are topics, such as climate change, much more important at stake. The film was aired in two national languages (french, german), but as a english version it was used for both language groups.
