It tells in the first person the adventures of Lincessa, a northern lynx calf, discovering the secrets and mysteries of life inside the forest, along with her mother and brother.
This is really the story of life. But of life of a very particular kind and over a very short period of time, a yearperhaps. Also in a specific place, the boreal forest, the largest forest on earth. We will choose one part of thatforest, where certain animals live. And among those animals we will choose one.
The story of the boreal lynx, as a story of life, is remarkable. And contemplating such a beautiful, elegant,unique animal stirs deeply felt emotions.
But let's add a little fiction. What if a young lynx cub looked us in the eye and started talking to each of usdirectly? And what if the lynx felt a voice inside her that accompanied her through her life, sharing its teachings?What if that voice were that of the boreal forest?
Let's throw in a dash of something dramatic, something funny, something tragic, something tender, somethingtense, something sad... and the result is "LINCESSA, the Silences of the Forest."
A story of life.
A three-month-old lynx cub speaks directly to the viewer and introduces herself. She talks abouther mother and her brother. She is independent and adventurous, flirtatious and vain. She hasprinciples and a strong personality.
We sense man as a looming danger. He is the antagonist. The lynxes' life is not easy.Through a flashback we discover how Lincessa's life has unfolded. From her first steps anddependence on her mother to the drama of the loss of one of her siblings. We return to thepresent.
The boreal forest represents the voice of experience in contrast to the impetuous and inexperiencedyoung lynx. The environmental message and the fight against climate changeare presented through this fascinating female character who generates a strong feeling ofempathy in the viewer as she grows throughout the story.
As she learns from her mother and her brothers, Lincessa discovers the habits of lynxes. Wemove between smiles and tears as we witness her boldness and immaturity.
