The brutal transition from cubhood to mountain survival
In short: Watch how five fox cubs navigate the high-altitude alpine wilderness as the seasons shift. This documentary captures the transition from a protected life in the clan to the unpredictable demands of nomadic survival.
The film follows five fox cubs born in a rugged high-altitude reserve. While their early months are spent in relative safety alongside species like chamois, groundhogs, and ibexes, the arrival of summer's end forces a harsh reality: the territory cannot support everyone.
The narrative explores the divergent paths of these foxes—some remain with the clan while others must become nomads. It highlights the constant threats they face, including golden eagles and wolf packs, showcasing the resilience required to survive in extreme mountain environments.
