Arne Sucksdorff’s celebrated nature film follows two brothers in rural Sweden as they witness a fox raid and secretly raise an orphaned otter. Told through an adult’s memories, it reflects on childhood, nature, and the fragile balance between wilderness and civilization. The film won the International Prize at the 1954 Cannes Film Festival.
Good for family night, a quick watch and talking about after. Contains animal harm.
Close in feeling, tone and story.
A different format. A familiar feeling.
