IT’S A WILD CHRISTMAS

50' (ENG, GER)

Wintertime, high up north. ­­Glittering frost covers the ground; drifting snowflakes fill the air.

Back in the Arctic, surviving Christmas requires special skills. In pursuit of prey to feed its young, a wolverine glides effortlessly over snow and ice – thanks to its long, sharp claws. While in a nearby tree, a grey jay has made its nest in the icy cold. These birds make clever use of local conditions, building their nests facing the southwest to have a better chance of catching the rare rays of the winter sun.

From the Arctic to the tropics all of nature celebrates life on a wild, silent Christmas night.
