Mystère: Victorias geheimnisvoller Freund

The land is gorgeous, the wolf pup adorable, the pack magnificent. But the human film makers never show the actual care and feeding of this pup. She brings it home in a bag, hides it in a cupboard, never gives it food or water or training etc etc. Raising wild animals is far more than idyllic catch and release.

This film made me smile and cry, beautiful in its unpretentious simplicity with authentic feel about the actors, especially the llittle girl- This is not a Disney story nor a scientific documentary about wolves but a real story about a little girl , Victoria , who gew up together with a wolf pup (the reay Victoria was even only 3!) and formed a strong, wonderful, inseparable bond. Recently oprhaned Victoria grows from bereaved, lost and helpless feelign girl to a mature person who nurtures and loves another culnerablle creature- which gives her back her speech and in the end ,makes the hardest decision for herself, putting the welfare and survival of the friend she loves above her own needs, small and young as she is. It alos highlights the real life problems between wolf and man and any rewilding projects in an objective way. As I said beffore : This is not a Disney production but a soft spoken, realistic but also very emotional telling of a true story- Either you love that or you leave it and look for artifice . I promise you smiles and tears i you do give it a chance.

First Ii usually never watch movies like this and usually just like dark and gritty stories recently like Gomorrah, El Marginal, or even GOT. This movie turned me into a puddle and had me feeling joyous then literally crying and then back to feeling good again. I can watch people get blown up and not feel much in other shows/movies but something about seeing a sweet little girl and her animal in pain or suffering even a little can take down even the hardest guy. Props to everyone involved in working with the wolves to make this movie. I think sometimes even the simplest plot can really bring out the most visceral feelings inside you especially with little kids involved. I really recommend this to almost everyone but just remind the family it's make believe because there's a couple gut punches along the way to an otherwise feel good movie. For the guy complaining about voice overs I would say pull up your big boy pants and learn to read subtitles. I mean come on are we really this lazy(or other adjectives)? I can understand if you got bad eyes or something but you really need to watch shows in there original native language or miss so much even if you don't understand. You can still get so much from just the tone, ect watching it in original language. Enjoy!

Simple story with great views and the wolves are beautiful and amazing!! Did not find anything wrong with the story as I'm a believer that animals and humans can have really strong bonds! Enjoy it!

But still a light feel good movie. Maybe not a deep plot where you learn much but still an enjoyable view. Great shots of the French countryside and beautiful wolves.
