Synopsis
On the northern Japanese island of Chironup, two foxes named Ken and Chin welcome the arrival of their cubs, Koro and Kan. The fox family lives happily, forming bonds with a local fisherman and his wife. Their peaceful existence is shattered when soldiers conducting military exercises decide to hunt the foxes for their pelts, forcing the family to flee. This gentle story subtly reflects the hardships of Japan's indigenous Ainu people and the northern islands disputed with Russia, following their occupation by Stalin's forces in 1945.
