Description

Gisèle Benoit has been studying and painting the predators of Canada’s boreal forest for four decades. She shares this quest with her parents, Monique and Raynald. After fifteen years of patient work, the naturalists have made this unique documentary on Canada lynx, who would be the mysterious guardian of forgotten secrets, according to a Native American legend. The beautiful scenes filmed by Raynald help us penetrate into the intimacy of the cat, known for its discretion. Its character, behaviour, reproduction and relationships with other species, many aspects of its life are unveiled through the observations of Gisèle and her family. A tribute to the natural world and respect for its laws, guaranteeing balance and durability.
