Storyline

Paris 1930. Paul has only ever had one and the same horizon: the high walls of the orphanage, an austere building in the Parisian working class suburbs. Entrusted to a joyful country woman, Célestine, and her husband, Borel, the rather stiff gamekeeper of a vast estate in Sologne, the city child, recalcitrant and stubborn, arrives in a mysterious and disturbing world, that of a sovereign and wild region. The huge forest, misty ponds, heaths, and fields all belong to the Count de la Fresnaye, an elderly taciturn man who lives alone in his manor.

RTChicago ReaderSep 6, 2018

Although he presents several characters fondly, Vanier emphasizes seriousness of purpose over playfulness.

Justin Lowe

RTThe Hollywood ReporterMay 20, 2018

Gorgeous woodland scenery and spectacular wildlife photography cast a magical spell under Vanier's skillful direction, capably supported by Belle & Sebastian cinematographer Eric Guichard and an ace team of animal wranglers.

RTEl Mundo (Spain)Feb 15, 2019

It's a shame that the solvency of these performances is not enough to save the simplistic story. [Full Review in Spanish]

Javier Ocaña

RTEl Pais (Spain)Feb 15, 2019

The film is friendly to those who seek easy resolution, but lacks a dose of getting muddy or physical with its themes. [Full Review in Spanish]
