A young girl of about 10 years lives in a solitary peasant's house on the edge of the jurassic mountains in the East of France. One day in autumn, when she is on her way to school through the forest, she observes a hunting fox. Of course, the fox flees from her, but the girl feels a strong desire to meet the fox again.

VIBE

A quiet, contemplative journey into the French countryside. It feels like a whispered secret shared between a child and the wild, capturing the magic of observation and the slow bloom of trust. Pure, unadulterated wonder.
