    • Synopsis
    • A strange cry echoes through the Jura mountains as
      wintercomes to an end. The sublime silhouette of an
      Eurasian lynx slips through the beech and fir trees as
      he calls out to his female companion.
      By following the daily life of this couple and their cubs,
      we discover a whole world close to us and yet so little
      known. Lynx is an authentic tale in which chamois,
      eagles, foxes and stoats are witnesses to the secret
      life of Europe’s largest “big cat”, still an endangered
      species.
      The film reveals the vital role that this discreet predator
      plays in our forests and the balance it has restored
      in a fragile environment, but also the difficulties it
      encounters in a habitat largely occupied by humans.
