young boy lost in the woods and freezing to death comes across a wounded female wolf. Sensing the boy's plight the wolf tells the boy he can kill her and eat her flesh and use her fur as a coat on one condition - he has to look after her cubs
A short and simple animated film lasting for five minutes but one that has a dilemma at the centre of it . This dilemma is one that appeals to the emotions , it's poignant and a little bit grotesque . However once you to start to think about it in any detail everything collapses . Are wolves edible to the human digestive system ? I suppose there's a difference between eating something through necessity and eating something because you like it and let's not forget this boy is in a very desperate situation . The flipside is more problematic . I take these wolf cubs are still dependent on their mother's milk so how is the boy going to provide this . I suppose the cubs are in a lose lose situation anyway since their mother is dying anyway . Being a French animated film featuring animals and nature you're not going to confuse it with a Walt Disney film with taking an Anglo-Saxon view that all mammals are very cute and surrogate human beings . Bare this in mind because the animation reflects the rather dark nightmarish tone of the story and it's not really family friendly fare
