Kina & Yuk
Kina & Yuk is a narrative nature adventure film that follows two arctic foxes, Kina and Yuk, as they prepare to become parents in a changing environment. Set in Dawson City, Canada, the film depicts the impact of global warming on their habitat, forcing Yuk to search for food in increasingly distant areas. The story unfolds as the melting ice separates the foxes, creating new dangers and territories for them to navigate. The film combines real wildlife footage with a scripted narrative, narrated by Virginie Efira in French and Benedetta Rossi in Italian. Although it is sometimes described as a documentary, it is officially classified as a fiction feature. The production involved a unique approach where the camera crew formed a 'circle of trust' around the animals, allowing for a respectful interaction with the wildlife.
