Beavers About Town

The city of Vienna is home to over 230 beavers, including one special beaver family who are the stars of this film. We follow them as they navigate the urban world they have made their home. From living in an unexpected “lodge”, swimming past humans everyday and using empty boats as places to relax. You’ve never seen beavers like this before.
