Played by Molly Kunz, a 20-year-old pianist returns to her childhood home after her grandfather’s death. In this lost place on a desert island in Canada, everything changes when a wolf cub and a lion cub in distress appear in his life. Alma chooses to keep them in order to save them, and the unlikely happens: they grow up together and love each other as brothers. But their ideal world collapses when their secret is discovered …
Shot in Canada over a two-year period, this family adventure features real animals without special effects supervised by animal coordinator specializing in wolves and dogs Andrew Simpson (The Last Wolf, Game of Thrones) and his team.
