Synopsis

Foxes Ken and Chin become the proud parents of cubs, Koro and Kan, who enjoy a carefree life on the northern Japanese island of Chironup. They befriend a fisherman and his wife but are forced to run for their lives when soldiers on a military exercise decide to take home some fox pelts as souvenirs. A sweet little film that obliquely symbolizes the plight of Japan's aboriginal Ainu people and the northern islands that have been contested with Russia since they were occupied by Stalin's soldiers in 1945.

The year is 1945, soon the allied forces will defeat, at that time, Nazi-Germany and soon Japan will surrender after being bombed by two nuclear warheads by the United States of America, WWII will then be over and will go as the largest and most deadliest war in history.
Probably not the best time for 2 foxes to dream about an happy and carefree life with offspring on one of Japanese northern islands.

This is where this movie takes place.
The plot is fairly easy to follow and kept rather simple too. Though it nevertheless is nothing for an emotional person, be ready to have your tissues ready read more
