Stadt, Land, Fuchs

Foxes are true survivors who are at home in all regions of the world and can adapt to many man-made changes. This is how a fox clan and a caring fox father made it their business in downtown Berlin. In many places in the country, a different wind blows for foxes. High in the north on the coast of Germany, a fox raises her litter alone. The filmmakers Roland Gockel and Rosie Koch show the animals in their old and new habitat.
