ACADÉMIE DES CÉSARS
WINNER OF BEST DOCUMENTARY & BEST SOUND
After THE VELVET QUEEN
Celebrated wildlife photographer Vincent Munier invites us into the heart of the Vosges forests. It is here Vincent’s father Michel, a naturalist, taught him everything. Now, it is time for them to pass on this wisdom to Vincent’s son, Simon. Three perspectives, three generations, and a shared fascination for wildlife. With them, we discover deers, rare birds, foxes and lynxes... and sometimes, the beating of wings of the mythical animal: the capercaillie.
