Production
The different scenes of the film, a modern reinterpretation of Maurice Genevoix's work, were filmed in Paris and Nancy for the interiors, and in the Vosges mountains, in Plainfaing and La Bresse, for the exteriors. With a production at cat's height, the film makes each animal a character in its own right, with its own emotions and character, all in mountainous landscapes more beautiful than ever.

Muriel Bec, the specialist in animal training for the cinema, “coached” the animals in the film. An animal director, she has more than 150 shoots to her credit, such as L'École bushnière, La Famille Bélier or series like Belle et Sébastien.
