The adventure follows two foxes who are preparing to become parents for the first time at a time when global warming is changing the rules for everyone. In Spain, it was narrated by Jacob Petrus, a zoologist, naturalist and environmentalist who is famous in the country for being the creator, director and presenter of the TV show Aquí la tierra (2014). You don’t see many film adaptations of animal documentaries. Judging by this film, that might be a mistake. A touching and captivating story of two polar foxes and high-quality, wide shots of the Arctic wilderness kept my attention throughout the film. I was surprised at how many plot twists this film could offer, even though it was just a sequence of events from the foxes’ lives. Although they were not human, these actors delivered the ingenuity and evoked empathy quite successfully, as I laughed at the foxes’ cute little cries, feared the dogs’ loud thuds and barks, and felt happy for them when they were reunited, after many adventures and the almost imminent death of the male. Overall, a cute movie, kids might like it, although the ones in the theater with me weren’t very captivated, unlike me. Thanks to the French production team, applause from Ukraine.
