They're back: wolf, lynx and bear. In the heart of Europe, from the Arctic Circle to the Mediterranean - and they are spreading fast. They know no borders and animal filmmaker Holger Vogt was aware that he was tackling a quite a controversial subject. Wherever the large predators appear, society is divided into pros and contras. On the one side are those who are generally frightened, farmers who fear for their herds and hunters, who suddenly find themselves faced with natural competitors. On the other side stand the conservationists. A broad majority of Europeans long for wild nature - but how can we live with wolves, lynxes and bears on our very own doorsteps? This exciting nature documentary follows the tracks of the large predators in the centre of Europe. (official distributor synopsis)
