action

One autumn morning, the girl Lila notices a fox off the road . Fascinated, she approaches him. Little by little she befriends the fox. Through the fox the girl discovers a secret and wild nature; their attitudes and relationships with animals change. She finds out that it is a ferry and she also finds her fox cub. Apart from the girl there are no people. In the last few minutes the girl - now grown up - tells her son about the past. She got the insight that one cannot bind the "wild nature" (of the fox) to oneself.

Reviews

  • “The film [...] (looks) heavily over-sugared at the beginning. But if you don't let that put you off, you can focus your attention entirely on the wonderful landscape and animal shots that are Jacquet's forte. [...] the 'humanization' of wild animals (has) certain limits. One wishes that Luc Jacquet would also learn this lesson. "( Berliner Morgenpost )
  • “Fairytale-like, grippingly narrated nature adventure about the touching friendship between humans and animals captured in overwhelming recordings. After his great global success The Journey of the Penguins , Luc Jacquet remains close to the documentary in this feature film. "( Süddeutsche Zeitung )
  • “The problematic humanization of the animal world, as we know it as a stylistic device from countless Disney films, is also an issue for Luc Jacquet. […] Embedded in a kind of fairytale, overstylized story, the film gradually unfolds its message. And it is about an understanding of nature that is not based on hierarchy and property, but also demands respect and consideration from people. In return, Jacquet finds great pictures from the animal world, which, shot with enormous effort, add up to an exciting and coherent story. "( General-Anzeiger Bonn )
  • “The cautious, very restrained film concentrates entirely on the triangular relationship between nature, fox and girl, whereby the narrative voice from the off has an important dramaturgical function. A stroke of luck when it comes to approaching nature in the form of a semi-documentary feature film, which is about the importance of freedom for humans and animals. "( Cinema tip from the Catholic film critic) ( Lexicon of International Films )
