Der Fuchs

The main theme of "Fox" revolves around the search for human connection and the comfort found in unexpected relationships. Set against the harsh backdrop of World War II, the film contrasts the brutality of war with the tenderness of the bond between Franz and the fox. This juxtaposition highlights the potential for compassion and humanity even in the most inhumane of circumstances.

Director Adrian Gogginger draws on his own family history, as Franz Streitberger is based on his grandfather's story, adding a layer of personal authenticity to the narrative. The story is not just about survival, but about finding hope and maintaining one's humanity in the midst of widespread devastation.

Visually, the film is made to evoke the 1940s era with meticulous attention to detail in its cinematography, directed by Yoshi Himerat and Paul Sprinz. The aesthetics serve to immerse the audience in the period while increasing the emotional depth of the story.
