What it’s about

A young girl of about 10 years lives in a solitary peasant's house on the edge of the jurassic mountains in the East of France. One day in autumn, when she is on her way to school through the forest, she observes a hunting fox. Of course, the fox flees from her, but the girl feels a strong desire to meet the fox again.

Genres: Adventure, Family

If your child is sensitive

If they get scared: under 7, a cuddle or a pause helps more than explaining it isn’t real. From 8, explaining does work.
