Based on a novel by Quebecois writer Jean-Francois Beauchemin, this meticulous hand-drawn animation tells the story of a child raised in the wild by his brutish, disenfranchised father. When the father is badly hurt in a fall, his son drags him to civilization, where the boy begins to understand the circumstances of their frosty relationship. Jean-Christophe Dessaint directed, and the great French filmmaker Claude Chabrol provided the voice of the town doctor, shortly before his death in September 2010. In French with subtitles.
