[narrator]
Lovers are everywhere
in this world.
Even here, in the Arctic.
It's 38 below zero.
But that doesn't mean
you can't be in love.
-[sniffing]
-Quite the opposite.
[sniffing]
The scamp who looks
like he fell into a bucket
of charcoal is Yuk.
[inspiring music]
The pretty white creature with
the little pink snout is Kina.
It's their story
I'm going to tell you.
[fox calling]
It starts with play.
Warming up, having fun.
Feeling like they're all
alone in the world.
As lovers sometimes do.
When it comes to Arctic foxes,
love is for life.
[grunting]
[lighthearted music]
[screeching]
[playful yipping]
[soft screeching]
[music shifts to inspiring]
[screeching]
[playful growling]
Yuk does the hunting
for the couple.
If he wants to keep Kina fed,
he needs to get results.

The young lover's spat benefits
another huntress.
[foxes yipping]
[tiny squeaks]
The stoat.
She may be cute to look at.
[chattering]
But in fact,
she's a ruthless k*ller.
A lethal weapon.
A machine.
A cold-blooded strategist.
[playful music]
I must warn you,
she doesn't cope with
frustration very well.
[frustrated chittering]
But when she's in control
of herself...
[soft squeaking]
-[excited screech]
-Oh, things get nasty.
[distant snuffling]
Ah, young Kina.
It's hard to tell,
but she's going to be
a mother in a few days
This is her first time.
[gentle music]
She's a little lost.
I understand.
[gentle growling]
She'd like to see
how others do it.
Even if the others are
a hundred times her weight.
[music continues]
[bear grunting]
[thunderous rumble]
[grunting]
That cracking noise.
It's not normal.
[distant rumbling]
This year, temperatures
are too high.
Much too high on the ice flow.
[screeching]
[soft music]
[screeching]
But for the lovers, having fun
is what matters most.
[playful music]
[foxes chattering]

[music turns somber]
[music fades]
[soft snoring]
Life is growing
in Kina's belly.
Stronger and stronger.
[gasps]
In a few days,
her cubs will be born.
[gentle intriguing music]
[soft rustling]
Yuk can sense that his mate
needs nourishment.
To get food, he has a method
that never fails.
He follows the king
of these lands.
The polar bear.
Hoping to catch a few
scraps of seal meat.
[wind blowing]
[sniffing]
[soft grunt]
[snow rustling]
[distant whining]
-[groaning]
-[loud rumble]
[cracking and splashing]
[whining]
This confirms that
the temperature is too high.
-[ice cracking]
-[suspenseful music]
The ice should still be solid
at this time of year.
That cracking.
It sounds like a monster.
A monster lurking
in the heart of the ice.
[whimpering]
[glacier rumbling]
[whimpering]
[loud ice fracture]
It's the breakup.
The moment when
the ocean of ice
becomes a liquid ocean.
But now,
it's happening too soon.
[music ends abruptly]
[distant fox cries]
The ice is breaking
into a thousand pieces.
with Yuk still on it.
There isn't a second to lose.
[suspenseful music restarts]
For an arctic fox,
falling into the frigid water
means certain death.
[whimpering]
[whimpering]
[whimpering]
[music ends]
[wind blowing]
Kina and Yuk chose each other.
They were gonna spend
their lives together.
But fate has decided otherwise.
Will they ever see
each other again?
[soft melancholic music]
[sniffing]
Everything here bears
the scent of Yuk.
-Kina will soon be a mother.
-[distant cawing]
But in this harsh environment,
how can she raise a brood
of cubs by herself?
[whimpering]
[whimpering]
[music continues]
Kina has spent two days
at the spot where they
played together carelessly.
Here,
the white desert is unchanged.
[music continues]
[distant screeching]
[faint animal calls]
That noise.
[nearby animal calls]
It's a fox.
[tense music]
But a red fox, he's much larger
than an arctic fox,
and his fur is less thick.
With temperatures rising,
he dares to try
his luck in the arctic.
Seeking to steal food
from the foxes of the ice flow.
[screeching]
[animal whining]
[music fades]
[wind blowing]
[wind blowing strongly]
[whimpering softly]
[wind blowing]
[wind blowing]

It happens sometimes.
A fox kills another fox.
To eat.
It's the law of nature.

[wind blowing strongly]
[music continues]
[red fox calling]
[music intensifies]
[music fades lightly]
[wind blowing]
[music fades]
Kina must leave her den.
The cubs were supposed
to be born there.
[music restarts]
By leaving,
Kina is abandoning
the only place where Yuk
might have found her.
[owl hooting]
[music continues]
[screeching]
They say that long, long ago,
an arctic fox was running
across the sky.
The fur of his tail rubbed
against the mountains,
setting off sparks
that lit up the night.
That little animal ignited
the northern lights.
[music increases]
[splashing]
[music fades]
[whimpering]
[huffing]
[whimpering]
For three days,
Yuk has been drifting
and still hasn't escaped
from the maze of ice.
He desperately needs
to find Kina
before she gives
birth to the cubs.
[inspiring music]
Having been forced
from her home,
the young vixen is
searching for a new den.
Ahead of her,
unknown lands stretch
as far as the eye can see.
In Kina's eyes, these lands are
populated by very odd beasts.
It's the first time she's seen
such a thing.
[person shouting commands]
[music fades]
[dogs panting]
[Kina whimpering]
[indistinct whisper]

She hasn't eaten in three days.
[dog growling]

[ominous music]
[soft growling]
[snoring]
[sniffing]
One,
two,
three.
Stop.
[growling]
[sniffing]
Okay, let's go.
Quietly.
[dog exhaling]
And now, with a full belly,
it's time to sleep.
[music increases]
[dogs barking]
[barking, whimpering]
The movable pantry.
-It's leaving.
-[whimpers]
Kina has a decision to make.
[dogs panting]
[music intensifies]
[barking]
[barking]
[music fades lightly]
At this pace,
she can't keep up.
Not with her cubs inside her.

[trees rustle]

Kina has never been
this far south before.
[barking]
-[bell chiming]
-She comes to a place
where humans live.
Jack City.
For the young vixen, it's huge.
Improbable.
Scary.
In other words,
not a place she wants to go.
But hunger has her in its grip.

She's better off
returning to the forest.
[soft ominous music]
[creature howling]
[barking, screeching
at a distance]
[sniffing]
[screeches softly]
[whimpers]
The forest surrounding
Jack City is wolf territory.
[wolf howling]
She can't stay here.
[suspenseful music]
[wolves growling, barking]
[growling]
[music intensifies]
[howling]
[music fades]
[dramatic music]
There's still daylight.
And wolves fear humans.
The ultimate predators
who have k*lled them
by the thousands.
[sniffing]

[wolves growling]
[whimpering]
-[growling]

[door closes]
[engine starts]
[loud engine running]
In this place,
Kina knows nothing.
-Understands nothing.
-[bell jingles]
Not the noises, or smells,
or behaviors, or rules.
She should never
have come here.
Yet, this is where she must
find a refuge for her cubs.

Finally,
a smell she recognizes.
[continues sniffing]
The Arctic.
The far north.
[continues sniffing]
[gentle music]
[continues sniffing]
[soft whimpering]
Everything here reminds her
of home, of the ice flow.
The thick furs.
And yet...
[continues sniffing]
[bear growl]
[whimpering]
[continues sniffing]
[wooden squeak]
[soft metallic rattling]
[thud on wooden floor]
[grunts softly]
Kina can't help
thinking of Yuk.
[gentle music]
Further north, the ice flow
has almost entirely melted.
[gentle splashes]
Yuk no longer has
the strength to be wary.
Nor to flee when
a hunter approaches.
[music fades lightly]
[whimpering]
[gentle splashes]
[music continues]
[music increasing gradually]
[gentle splashes]
[seals huffing]
In these distant lands,
there's respect for those
who struggle to survive.
[music fades]
Whatever the species.
[Kina snoring]
[distant bell chiming]
In Jack City,
Kina is regaining her strength.
[soft grunt]
The local dogs don't like
newcomers on their territory.
[suspenseful music]
[sniffing]
[dog whining]
Friend...
...or foe.
[grunting and sniffing]
[dog sighing]
[dog grunts softly]
[soft grunt]
[music turns uplifting]
This is Rita.
And I'd say she wants
to make friends.

[Kina screeches]
[dogs barking]
[dogs growling]
[whimpering]
[barking and growling]
[barking and growling continue]
[howling]
Why aren't they attacking Kina?
[loud howling]
[whimpering]
[music turns suspenseful]
The wolves.
At night,
while the humans sleep,
they venture into the city.
[sniffing]
And dogs are
often on their menu.
But not tonight.
[distant barking]
[barking continues]
[screeching]
[distant growl]
[music continues]
[grunting]
[sniffing]
Don't move.
Don't move.
-[wood creaking]

Rita has made
Black Wolf flee
to the high ground
overlooking Jack City.
[faint howling]
[growling]
[music turns suspenseful]
[snarling]
But he and his pack
won't forget this insult.
Tomorrow night,
they'll come looking for Kina
and her new friend.
[cawing]
[soft grunt and bark]
[cawing continues]
[Kina yipping]
[whimpering softly]
[Rita whining]
[Rita groaning softly]

[wind howling]
[soft music]
After a long journey,
Yuk is back on familiar ground
among familiar smells.
[wind howling]
[sniffing]
[soft whimpering]
Kina...
Where is she?
She must have left tracks
as she was leaving.
Yuk needs to find her
before the cubs are born.
[music continues]
[emotional uplifting music]
[sniffing]
[music continues]
[music continues]
[inaudible]

In Jack City,
night has returned.
And with it, the fear of seeing
Black Wolf and his pack.
[Rita panting]
[whimpering]
[dogs barking]
[growling]
[whimpering]
-[Kina yipping]
-[dogs bark]
But for now, Rita has
a crucial mission to carry out.
She must find a den for Kina,
whose cubs could arrive
at any moment.
-[Rita barks]
-In dog speak,
I think that means
"Dig, I'm too old for this".

In the midst of human garbage.

[Rita barks]
It's breakfast time,
and Rita knows where to find
the tastiest bones in town.

Okay, she doesn't know how
to ask for permission yet,
but she'll learn.

[men singing, chatting,

[creature chirping]
[playful music]
What's that smell?
[soft grunt]
[barking]
[sniffing]
What is that?
It looks like a stoat,
only more colorful.
[sniffing, grunts softly]
[hens clucking]
[sniffing]
[hens clucking]
[soft thud]
[music continues]
Actually, it's a marten.
And martens love eggs.
[screeching]
[yipping]
[hens clucking]
[clucking continues]
[clucking continues]
Fresh laid eggs.
Someone's not gonna be
very happy about this.
The furious marten wonders
why she shouldn't
chomp the egg stealer
right on her snout.
She's afraid, perhaps.
[music continues]
[music fades abruptly]
[sniffing]
[soft growling]
[screeching]
But fear can switch sides
in an instant.
[music restarts]
[music ends]
[marten screeching]
Kina's scent is getting
fainter and fainter.
Yuk needs to hurry,
but he's hungry.
[dramatic music]
[sniffing]
[gasps] An arctic hare.
In the deep snow,
with its paws like snowshoes,
the hare is
impossible to catch.
Not to mention
its excellent camouflage.
[branches crunching]
[sniffing]
[music continues]
[soft whimpering]
[faint squeaking]
[soft screeching]
Yuk the predator
is now the prey.
[faint squeaking]
[soft grunting]
[sniffing]
[squeaking continues]
[sniffing]
For Black Wolf, it doesn't
matter what color a fox is.
White, red, charcoal,
he'll eat them all.
[sniffing]
[sniffing]
[snow rustling]
[soft screeching]
[grunting]
[high-pitched squeak]
[panting]
[sniffing]
[panting]
-[grunts]
-But he hesitates to attack.
He might fail again.
The snow is too deep.
[soft whimpering]
Better to wait until nightfall.
Then he can move in
with the rest of the pack.
[cawing]
[music fades]
Kina has problems too.
The watchdogs are after her.
At night they can't catch her,
but by day,
the city is their domain.
[sniffing]
Now they're searching
for her everywhere.
[suspenseful music]

Rita has saved her life.
Again.
[engine starting]
[wind howling]
But humans and dogs
will always be in this city.
Always pursuing her.
[grunting]
[dog barking]
[car honking]
Kina realizes that she can't
raise her little ones here.
It's too dangerous.
[tense music]
[dog barking]
[crow cawing]
[barking]
[whimpering]
Rita isn't following anymore.
Her home is here,
among the humans.
[bell ringing at a distance]
[dogs barking]
[sniffing]
[pensive music]
[wind howling]
The unlikely friendship
between a dog and a fox
comes to an end.
Exiled by climate change,
the young vixen resumes
her search for a safe place
to raise her cubs.
Alone.

Yuk has never been

He smells her everywhere.
On every street corner.
She's here,
he's sure of it.
She came this way.
She can't be far off.

Yuk can find his way
through any forest

But he's baffled
by this steel structure.
and the marten's doing
nothing to help.
-[metal thud]
-[screech]
[soft grunt]
[screeching]
[screeching]
Right or left?
[sniffing]
Left or right?
[screeching]
Uh... Seriously, is she
teasing or guiding him?
Is there a way
out of this maze?
[music intensifies]
[sniffing]
[music turns pensive]
[whining]
[grunts softly]
[water splashing softly]
[music continues]
[music fades]
Spring has arrived.
That's bad news for Yuk.
The landscape is changing.
The snow is disappearing.
And with it, the scent of Kina.
[sniffing]
[soft pensive music]
He has to keep moving.
What if the cubs have
already been born?
[loud rumbling]

[rumble deepens]
[music turns suspenseful]
[mountainside rumble]
[music continues]
[squeaky yip]
[rumble and music fade]
[screeching]
[rustling snow]
[panting]
The rock saved his life.
[sniffing]
But what difference does
it make if the avalanche
has erased Kina's scent?
[distant bellowing]
The arctic vixen doesn't know
which way to go.
She decides to follow
those caribou mothers.
They're surely heading
toward a place where they can
safely raise their young.
[snorting]
[thoughtful music]
[panting]
[distant bleating]
[music continues]
[music increases]
[bleating]
[sniffing]
She's found a den.
Another vixen has definitely
given birth here in the past.
[music fades]
Kina can finally rest...
...and wait for the
arrival of her cubs.
[soft whimpering]
Days spent struggling
against the forces of nature.
Days spent searching.
Days spent hoping.
Days spent losing hope too.
[pensive music]
And now, today,
everything is possible again.
