Der Geist des Nordens

Their tenacity is the stuff of many Nordic legends, but their sparse tracks have remained obliterated until now - wolverines, also called bear martens, are made for life in the extreme regions of the Russian-Finnish borderlands. This film gives the first insight into this mysterious world and shows how Freya, a 3-year-old wolverine mother, tries against all odds to bring her cub through its first year.
