Short description

Following the passing of her grandfather, twenty-year-old Alma returns to her childhood home on a small Canadian island. While there, she rescues a wolf cub and a lion cub, who grow up together as close companions. Their peace ends when the animals are discovered and taken away, forcing the two creatures to travel across the country to reunite with each other and Alma.

Directed by Gilles de Maistre, this adventure drama followed his 2018 film Mia and the White Lion. The movie features Molly Kunz in the lead role alongside Graham Greene, Charlie Carrick, Derek Johns, Rebecca Croll, and Rhys Slack, with a screenplay written by Prune de Maistre. Produced by StudioCanal, Canal+, M6 Films, and Ciné+, the project had a budget of 12 million USD and earned 20 million USD at the worldwide box office.

The film received a moderate response from audiences, holding a 6.2 rating on IMDb from 4,900 votes and a higher 7.5 on TMDB from 510 votes. In contrast, film critics gave it a lower rating of 5.1 based on 27 reviews.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The animals (a wolf and a lion) were friends both on screen and in real life. They are now housed in one of the shelters in Canada, where they will spend the rest of their lives together.
  • Filming took place on specially constructed sets where crew members had to enter the animals' cages, and only the lion and wolf remained free.
