A young girl who's about 10 years old lives in a farm house in the Jura mountains in eastern France.

One day in autumn, when she rides her bicycle to school through the forest, she observes a fox hunting.

During the following months, the girl spends most of her free time in the forest trying to find the fox, but she doesn't meet it again until winter arrives.

The ankle heals very slowly, so that she has to stay at home during the winter reading a book about foxes and other animals of the forest.

The foxes in the film were played by six animals: Titus, Sally, Ziza, Scott, Tango and Pitchou.
