Virginie Efira lends her voice to Kina et Yuk, renards de la banquise, Guillaume Maidatchevsky's latest masterpiece. As the festive season approaches, this poignant and enchanting film makes its big-screen debut on December 27.
Belgian star Virginie Efira, known for her work in hit films such as Victoria and Benedetta, narrates this exciting animal tale. The director, Guillaume Maidatchevsky, has already signed major works on wildlife and ecological issues, such as Aïlo : une odyssée en Laponie.
The moving, captivating story centers on Kina and Yuk, a pair of polar foxes living on the ice floes of the Far North. Against a backdrop of abnormal climatic conditions, the couple must face up to adverse circumstances to ensure their survival and that of their future cubs.
The feature was shot in the majestic Yukon icefields, with a remarkable devotion to staying as close to nature as possible. Environmental issues, always a central theme in Maidatchevsky's documentaries, are perfectly illustrated here, highlighting the difficulties and obstacles faced by flora and fauna in the face of global warming. The surprising tenderness of the animal characters makes this reality all the more touchingly true.
Kina et Yuk, renards de la banquise (Kina and Yuk, ice foxes) is a cinematic experience that promises to be both dazzling and educational, as the adventure unfolds in the immense icy landscapes of the Far North. For film buffs, nature lovers and fans of the great outdoors, this is an event not to be missed.
