Vulnerable newborn reindeer Ailo must overcome the challenges that stand in the way of his first year of life in the stunning landscapes of Lapland.

Aïlo: an odyssey in Lapland tells the fight for the survival of a small wild reindeer, frail and vulnerable to the challenges that punctuate his first year. Its awakening to the wild world is a real tale in the heart of the grandiose landscapes of Lapland.—Hugo Van Herpe

*Male reindeer calf Aïlo is born aside while the herd trots on, so his first impressions of discovering the world are alone or with his mother. He meets various species indigenous to Lapland, such as the lemming, nervous ermine and squirrel or the owl and ferrets. Luckily they soon catch up with the herd, as they must survive the presence of wolves and bears and his exploration of nature continues, including such challenges as passing an icy, rather deep river .—KGF Vissers
