A journey exploring the history of the relationship between men and bears in Trentino. The different protagonists create a puzzle, bringing together visions moving through prehistory, history, the battle for survival, the great repopulation project, right up to the present day. The documentary leaves us with many questions, without forgetting the reality: the coexistence between bears and human beings creates conflict that cannot be eliminated and requiring a strong commitment from everyone.

Awards

Premio RAI
Ed. 2022
In this film, the jury considers the objective presentation of the difficulties and limits of coexistence between nature and society to be particularly significant, grasping the director’s intention of searching for acceptable forms of behaviour: marked first of all by awareness and respect. The RAI award highlights the historic research carried out in terms of the film, images and documentation of the Life Ursus project, alternating with magnificent footage of the natural environment in Trentino, and extensive personal testimony.
