The Wolf and the Lion

• Family

In the heart of the Canadian wilderness, a young woman’s quiet return to her childhood home blossoms into an unexpectedly tender and fiercely protective connection with a wolf cub and a lion cub, rescued and raised as brothers. This isn’t a typical animal adventure; the film delicately explores the unconventional family forged through shared vulnerability and the raw, aching loneliness of separation when circumstance forces them apart. The narrative unfolds as a determined quest – not for survival against nature, but to *restore* a self-made family unit, underscored by a growing sense of youthful defiance against bureaucratic authority. It’s a story where the vast landscape of Canada mirrors the emotional distance and persistent hope driving Alma and the cubs’ cross-country reunion, emphasizing the primal need for belonging and the courage to challenge rigid systems for the sake of connection.
