Contents 1 Plot 2 About the film 3 Nominations 4 References 5 External links Plot A young girl who 's about 10 years old lives in a farmhouse in the Jura mountains in eastern France. One day in autumn, when she rides her bicycle to school through the forest, she observes a fox hunting. Of course, the fox escapes, but the girl yearns to meet the animal again. During the following months, the girl spends most of her free time in the forest trying to find the fox, but she does n't meet it again until winter arrives. During the winter, she follows the fox 's tracks far across the fields. Suddenly she compares her hand to the size of the tracks near those she is following and discovers they are relatively fresh wolf tracks. She is alarmed as a wolf pack begins howling near her. She runs away panicked, falls and hurts her ankle. The ankle heals very slowly, so that she has to stay at home during the winter reading a book about foxes and other animals of the forest. When spring arrives, the girl is looking for foxholes and waits for the fox. The fox has young babies and moves from one foxhole to another because of the girl 's inquisitiveness ; so the girl decides to observe the fox from a greater distance. The girl finds the fox again and tries to get the animal accustomed to her. She feeds it meat. Later she can even touch the fox and is led to the new den. Finally, the fox comes to her house and she lets it inside, wanting to show it her bedroom. But the fox becomes distressed at not being able to find a way out and escapes by smashing through the brittle plate glass window, shattering the glass. The fox is hurt badly but survives. The girl learns that she can not keep wild animals as pets at home as they are unpredictable and are not possessions. Years later she tells the whole story to her son, as seen at the end of the film. Some versions ( DVD English ) replace this scene with a text graphic. About the film The film was shot on the Plateau de Retord in Ain, which the film director knows well because he spent his youth there, in the summer, as well as in the Abruzzo in Italy. The foxes in the film were played by six animals : Titus, Sally, Ziza, Scott, Tango and Pitchou. Titus was the fox who had been tamed by Marie - Noëlle Baroni. It died on March 17, 2008 at the advanced age of 12 years. Nominations Young Artist Award 1.
