Luc Jacquet, director of the Oscar-winning March of the Penguins, heads for sunnier climes in this family feature.
The production spent six months in the Retord plateau and Abruzzes National Park in Italy, capturing footage of wild foxes in their natural habitat, documenting behavioural patterns which would then be integrated into the screenplay penned by Jacquet and Eric Rognard.
The action revolves around a freckled, red-haired narrator, who comes across a fox on her travels. Enchanted by the majestic creature, who she christens Lily, the girl decides to impose herself on this untouched wilderness.
