The Fox film trailer HERE

Based on a  true story, (Franz Streitberger was the Director's great grandfather) this very moving film is the tale of an extraordinary friendship between a young soldier and a fox cub. Adrian Goiginger, the  director of break-out hit The Best Of All Worlds proves his outstanding talent again with this intimate drama about loyality and reconciliation and is set  across Austria, Germany and France.

Shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, Franz enroles as a motorcycle courier for the Austrian Army and after annexation who was soon drafted into the German Wehrmacht. When the introverted young soldier encounters a wounded fox cub in the woods, he looks after it as if it were his own child and after nursing it back to health  takes it with him to occupied France.

Through this unique friendship with the wild animal, his own past as an outcast farmer’s son, which he has always run away from, slowly catches up with him.

Up and comin star Simon Morze is a stand out as Streitburger and no foxes were harmed in the making of this film!
