"In France, bear gets the medal of endangered specie, but his reintroduction is controversy. In Slovenia, the animal is thirty times more present and keep his majesty.

How to mix the emergency of biodiversity protection and humans needs. Understand the foundation of wild fear. Demystify bear of his predator role, a scapegoat of a chimerical debate. Detect, through of authentic portraits, the evolution of human thought about nature.

Woodcarver, trapper, artist, farmer, photographer, on a mystery background, revealing. So, animal, wild or reality fear?"

Crude and artistic, this documentary, by image, using the "beauty", the esthetic, wish to bring to spectators new feelings. Urbanites or residents, for or against bears, young or old, all recover sensitivity and emotion of a return to basis in the modern world.

Wildness, sequences about "extraordinary" subjects, such as the "cave salamander", unusual amphibian and almost unknown, the "giant Danube salmon", colossus of rivers and rapids, the "bobcat", both rare and invisible, allow to engage the subject of a strong problematic. The unknown leads to the fear of wildness which leads to prejudices and obsessions.

Mystical, using scenes more mysterious, intensify public thought for these problematic, ask questions and surprise.

Characters, because of their strong personalities and their abilities to be and look like ordinary people, despite of their particular lives, foster the debate about Human and Nature. They highlight the evolution of human thought about environment to the change in our society.

Bear, is introduced as a symbol, far from his predator side which sticks to it. Thanks to our technical knowledges about the subject, we would like to bring lot of graphic research and unique point of view. Without anthropomorphism, have an animal picture that show his real appearance of mountain king, forests emblem, in Slovenia as well as in France.
