The Fox

“Der Fuchs” is the true story of Franz Streitberger, Adrian Goigingers’ great grandfather. At the beginning of World War 2 the introverted young soldier finds a wounded fox cub who he looks after like it was his own child and takes with to the occupied France. Through this strange friendship with the animal his own past, from which he has always run away, slowly catches up with him.
