Storyline
No other country in Europe has more bears than Romania. There are probably over 6000. Especially in Transylvania, they often come dangerously close to humans. As a result, people in many places are at their wits' end. The film follows a female bear and her three cubs as they leave the protection of the Carpathian forests and become 'problem bears'. Their dramatic fate highlights the challenges of bear-human coexistence. Is there still a common future in densely populated Europe?
