Film plot and background
Animal drama about a young woman who finds and shelters a wolf pup and a lion cub in the Canadian woods.
20-year-old Alma (Molly Kunz) is drawn to the forests of Canada. Her grandfather has left her his old cabin and all his belongings. With the remote cabin in the middle of nature, it naturally happens that some wild animals show up there. Her grandfather had even made friends with a she-wolf. Alma is therefore astonished when one day the she-wolf brings her child into the hut and disappears again after a while.
A short time later, an accident occurs in the woods – a private plane crashes. The occupants probably did not think about the crash, only a lion cub was not found in the wreckage. It belonged to a power-hungry circus director, but when Alma miraculously finds the lion, she cares for it together with the little wolf. A deep friendship develops between wolf, lion and Alma, but this is put to the test when a ranger snatches the animal children from Alma. The search for their way back to each other becomes a great adventure for the three.
